We do not bear as much about pounding the ’ pastor as in other days. The ieason being that the custom is dying out to a great ex­ tent. Likethe ceasingofthe man­ na when good corn became avail able there is both a gain and a loss in the going of this custom. The gain comes in the idea that the la­ borer is worthy of his hire and should not be treated as an object of charity. There is a business side to the relation of pastor and church th at' is being recognized more and more clearly. A self re­ specting church or field would re­ sent the intimation that. their pas­ tor was on a dole. He is paid a salary and he ilvest on that salary like acy other citizen, H ecan go to the store and buy what provis­ ions he needs for his family and is in no way dependent on the raFe occasions wheu'tbe church comes to pound him. Often the pound­ ing that the pastor received on far apart occasions was about all thst he did receive and while the goods given were a veritable god-send he would have greatly preferred a lit­ tle money on salary. Which means that the ceasing of the pounding Hke the ceasing of manna is a dis­ tinct gain. There is a loss eonnec. ted with this change. There was something mighty personal and friendly and co-operative about that pounding. The good things were not sent, they were brought and a great religio-social event took place that bound pastor and people more closely together. We suggest that something that embodies the spirit of the old pounding . be renewed. How about a surprise party at the pastor’s home? Before the party be sure that the salary is a ll. paid. —Charity and Children. Hog-Killing Time. (Rocky Mount Telegram) Brilliant fires burning before the break of .day . .

Young Men Wanted.' YounE men, residing in this coun­ ty, who wish to be enlisted in the Navy during January, are urged to make application at once. Thia ad­ vise is offered by the Navy Recraitera in Salisbury, who ata'e that a great many young men have, expressed their desire to wait until after the Christmas holidays before enlisting. By making application now, the Re­ cruiters state, young men will in­ sure themselves a place in the. first quota for the new year. To be eligible for enlistment, a young man must be between the ages of 17 and 31, have completed at Ieast the 7th grade in school; be Of good moral character and be ’ phyn callv qualified for. service, Yonng' aters between tbe ages of 17 and 18 will be;enlisted for a period extend' ing to their 21st birthday . AU others will be.enlisted for six years Yoong men of draft age may be. enlisted^ whether or not they have been call­ ed for Army service; The Record is only_$t- The Election Is Over. Announcement has been made at Washington that the Works Pro­ gress Administration has notified the 1,8 0 0 ,0 0 0 WPA employees that they must take advantage of all a- vailable opportunities for regular employment offered by the expand­ ing industrial program in the na­ tion. Failure to accept bona fide offers tor regular employment in private industry will result in workers for. feiting present WPA project as. signments, and making them ineli­ gible for reassignment for the per­ iod in which private fobs may be had. It may seem strange that such a warning bad to be issued^ And it doesn’t speak aky too well for cer­ tain of those now on WPA work relief. But tbe government evi­ dently has finally made the discov. ery, known to many social workers for a long time, that there are those in the ranks of the unemployed who have come to consider WPA a permanent thing for themselves. They prefer to loaf their way thru life, even at low WPA allowances, than to get back into private in­ dustry and return real production effort for higher pay. . This category does not include all WPA workers by any means. But the percentage it "does cover is sufficiently large than even the gov­ ernment now takes cognizance of the fact.—Statesville Record. Greeting To Hooper. Swift Hooper was for more than half a ‘century an engineer on tbe Southern Railway and about 50 years of this time be spent “pull­ ing” the train between Winston- Salem and North Wilkesboro; His recent retirement is an event wor­ thy of much mentioning, in the opinion of the Journal aod Patriot of North Wilkesboro, which goes on to say: Swift Hooper is a most interest­ ing character. Over' a span of half a century he has witnessed more orogress than ah individual before his time could have seen in twice that number of year. He was on the first train to come to what is now North Wilkesboro.. He saw this town, grow from noth­ ing to its present thriving state as a commercial and industrial center and he has always felt a keen in­ terest iq this part of the state. Many along the railway between here and Winston-Salem will miss bis cheerful greeting or wave of his band now that he has retired.

Johnson, in writing in last week’s issue of the Biblical Recorder on the Sunday school les< son, the. subject - of which -was *‘A Good Neighbor,” ended his article with the following: seven points which are worthy of everybody’s consideration: v 1. Christianity is not theory but practice’; not- something merely to sing aboat, but something to do.. 2. Many, people would rather win an arguniont than learn the truth, 3. Compassion that, does-not go beyond sentiment has no value. 4. He who would help others must use intelligence.as well as emotion. 5.- The churchman who passes by Iiimnan need has failed the church. 6. The. unworthy conduct of a man does not excuse a' refusal to help him. , The most Christiike deals a re some>times done by those who do not claim to be Christians. jean Francois MiUet Saying : 'JeanvFrancois Millet, the famous artist, wrote, “They wished to force me into their'drawing-room art to break my spirit. .

Because neighbors are afraid that some morning they will rise and see no smoke curling from the Morris cabin, three miles from Saluda, they have started a movement to have the National Park Service take over the fire and preserve it in the projected museum in the Great Smoky National Park. The fire which burns so brightly on “Old Bill's” mountain hearth was laid 150 years ago. by his great grandfather and great-grandmother John and Sarah Morris, when they settled in the rugged wilderness. John was a relative of Robert Mor­ ris, of Philadelphia, who gave : up his fortune for the Revolutionary cause. Rural fires originally were kept burning because starting them, with flint and tinder was not always an easy task. Thefire of John and Sarah burned so long that senti­ ment grew around it. Sarah char­ ged. John to keep the family fire burning. Each succeeding’ son fulfilled'the trust, until how Old Bill, a bachelor and last of the Morris line, sits alone beside the cheerful blaze with no kin to de­ liver over his trust. Tbe fame of Old Bill’s fire had spread throughout the Appala- chlans. As plans for a museum of early mountain culture in tbe Smokies mature, friends of Old Bill Morris are proposing that the fire be removed to this museum, there to burn forever as a living, contin nous relic of life on the frontier 150 yeirs ago. . 1 Morris himself is anxious to see the plant materialize. To the lankv moustached mountaineer, the blaze has become his chief interest In life —along with his collie dog and his fiddle. He remembers when a continuous fiddle. He remembers when a continuous fire had utilitarian value.: “ Woo^ was pleutiful then, and it was easy to cover hard Wood; coal with plenty of ashes, then when you wanted fire the ashes were scraped away, ttgbtwood splinters put on tbe glowing coals, a few blown end up comes'a good hot fire. “The first matches I. can. recoU Iect was 25 -cents a hundred, packed in a little barrel! affair, box, with screw wooden top,-and you had to pay one cent’Civil War Tax on top of that. ( . "Those early matches was dan­ gerous to carry around in your pocket, because the least friction set' ’em off. Several fellows- got their, britches burnt on account of them rubbing in their pockets and getting afire. They stunk like everything, too, when you: lit one, and the house bad to be opened .up.” • , Old Bill, who does bis own cook ing, has worn out three cookstoves but stoutly maintains that “vittles taste better when cooked over an open fire,- : When he was 16, Mor ris recalls, he walked three miles to get his first sight of a cook stove. • ‘The folks that had it brought it up from the low country and . , they were pretty well to do, and the man of the house was a drinker and.pretty wicked,” recalls Morris. •‘Well,” they got it all set up and started a fire in the oven. It rais­ ed a tarnation smoke and the roan said be .was going to get his axe and bust the damned infernal thing to pieces. But his wife got him to wait -until they could send down country for a negro woman who knew hOW .to work: a stove, and she showed them. where to build !the fire. ’ Old Bill’s house is off tbe main toad; bat nowadays he has ocea sional visitors who come to see his fire.

ADVERTISE We Don’t Get It. Believe it or not; President Roosevelt has signed a constitution-. al amendment, according to press dispatched, limiting the tenure of the President to two terms and eight years. But before you get too excited let us add that this is in the Phillippine Islands, not in tbe United States. Two Provisions to the Philippine constitution were signed by the President, it is announced, one ' changing the term of the president ttal office from six to four years, the other providing that no Presi­ dent may serve more than eight years in the office. Pending complete independence’ of the island, the President ot the United States is required to give any amendments to the organic act tinder which the Phillipoines oper. ate . This leads one to wonder just what assurance' there is that in the Philippine Islands.on some futur date there, may not arise so grave an emergency that it will require the occupany of - the presidential chair by some great and good man, in thorough touch with the situa. tion, more than eight years? Such an emergency is just as likely to a* rise in the Philippines as in the United States. Indeed, there are some people who believe that, with its proximity to Iapan and its inher- , ent weakness, the Phili^piness are in graver weakness, tbe Philippines j are in graver danger and will be than is the case with the United States we have the President’s own word for it that the gravity of the international situation compelled him to seek a third term even a- gainst his own .personal wishes. Of course, there must be a differ- erence but in the words of Gracie Allen, we don’t get it.—Union Re­ publican. Wilkes County Man Re­ peats With Hogs. A, R.

C. porkers just butchered netted 1.853 pounds of pork at the ages of one year. The smallest had a dressed weight of 608 pounds and-the other tipped the scales at 617 and 628. The three were mates from a litter of pigs a year ago. During the past several years Mr. ' Miller has invariably Droduced sev­ eral porders with the dressed weigh­ ed never being under 600 pounds and any individual porker one year of age. The three hogs slaughtered tbia year did not consume a total of three ' bags of chop. Mr. Miller said, and were fed almost entirely with dry- corn. Ashehoro To Hear Fam­ ed Evangelist.

VAN DE WATER * CHAPTER XII—Continued —13— Our neighbors were coining back. I rose to let them pass before she answered me and when we were seated again, she briefly and quick­ ly patted my hand. Wben the curtain fell and the house awoke, I must have shown my thought for Allegra looked at me sharply as I took up her cloak, and she said: “You are a good egg, you know. I think you’ve suffered- a lot to­night." I did not teU her how much or why. I only answered: “Not at aU.” She wrinkled her straight little nose at me and jeered: “Spoken like a gentleman of the old school. Mr. Wagner got you down and you know it. 'He helped me, though, if that’s any comfort/' “It’s more than that,” I told her, and she glanced at me again as though she expected to find some­thing in my eyes that was not there, We move,d with the crowd into the lobby and to the street beyond where the starters’ whistles stabbed through the racket of cars and, at last, found a taxi-cab. I helped her in and gave the driver her address. “Must we?” she asked as I sat down beside her. I was a Uttle stupefied by too much music on an empty stomach. I said: “You ask the blindest questions.” “And you,” she answered, “don’t Seem to have any human feelings at aU. Aren’t you ever hungry or any thing?” “Anything! I’m practicaUy every­thing. So what?” "AU right,” she snapped, “if you insist on heing led, instead of lead­ ing me, astray! I’d like to go to Mino’s.” “Mino’s?” Somewhere I had heard that name. She misunder­ stood my hesitation and tried so tactfuUy to reassure a poor em­ ployee of her aunt that I smiled. “One of the things I want most in the world at present is a chicken sandwich and a seidel of beer.” “My chUd,” I told her, “your am­ bition touches me. It does indeed. Give me the address.” The cab swung east at my new order. I asked: “Why should Mino’s mean any­ thing to a boy from the country— •nd what?” “It shouldn’t,” she answered. “Maybe, you’ve heard Grove or me •peak of it. He likes it and he used to take me there a lot. Perhaps,” she added, and I thought her voice grew tighter, “he’U be there to­night.” “That’H be sweU,” I said as heart­ily as I could but she marked the hoUow sound. “You don’t like Grove. And it’s my fault.” - • „• “No,” I answered, “it’s probably mine.” “We’H go somewhere else if you’d rather,” she said meekly. “I don’t know why I said Mino’s. If Grove burned up with deUght at seeing ei­ ther of us but—I don’t know—I just have a hunch.” “Always play them,” I advised her. “Right,” she said and her head came up again, “we’ll do just that.” Mino, himself, sleek as a black cat, ushered us into a wide, Iow- peiled chamber where a band pre­ sided over a square of dance floor. About the polished rectangle that dancers were quitting, tables were packed and beyond them along the walls were high-backed stalls. “Dance?” Allegra whispered to toe. I shook my head. The smell of food was hard for a starving man to stand. ' “We’ll sit over by the wall then, Mino,” she told her guide. “Has— has Mr. Paget been In tonight?” Mino seemed desolated that Mr. Paget had not. I did not share his grief. I gave our order to the wait­ er and prayed inwardly Uiat he would be quick. From the center of the dance floor, a master of cere­ monies spoke amid gusts of laugh­ ter and retired as two lines of girls pranced out on either side of the band platform. “The midnight show,” Allegra said, lifting her voice above the din. “Do you mind?” “I can take it or leave it, I think.” “Doesn’t,” she mocked, “any sort of music please you? Have you no savagery in your breast, at aU, Mis­ ter?” If I had not matched her own de­ liberation when food arrived, she would have had her answer. Allegra lifted her seidel and grinned at me across it. “Here’s luck,” she called through the racket. Suddenly the music paused, the dancers held a complicated forma­ tion and before applause rattled, I heard a voice in the booth next to ours. The band reviving, blotted it out. The dancers stamped and whirled. I sat with my seidel still half-way to my lips. Season told me I was mistaken. My ears defied it. “It’s not poison,” Allegra said. I could not answer her. I was back at the switchboard at the Mo- rello and the wheel had just come off Miss Agatha's chair and I had left a voice—that .identical voice—to get its owh number while I rushed to Uie old lady’s aid. But the owner of that voice was dead. I must be mistaken. And yet I knew I was not. I was not likely ever to forget the thick foreign cadences. I managed to .smile at my aston­ished companion and slid but from my place. “WU1 you excuse me—just for an instant?” I muttered and without waiting for reply stepped around the high back of my settle to the next booth. CHAPTER XHI I hit my foot against the wine bucket and I said: “Excuse me.” Instinct supplied the words. There­ after, I had no others. In the booth, where I had heard the dire voice raised, sat lone and Lyon Ferriter. I had rushed for an avenue to the end of mystery and had slammed up against a blank waff. If. my face were stupid with amazement, the Ferriters' were, calm. Ione smiled, though I thought her eyes widened. There was no flaw in Lyon’s greeting. “My dear chap,” he said, and real pleasure sounded in his easy voice, “this is splendid. Sit down.” He half rose and held out his hand. I took it. Instinct still controlled "Why don’t you play fair?” me, My mind was crawling from the wreck of another collapsed hope. Perhaps I was beginning to have delusions. Maybe, I had only imag­ ined the guttural voice that I had heard once before as the herald of murder. I managed to smile and released Lyon’s cordial hand. "Thanks,” I said inanely, “I just wanted—to say hello.” "But sit down,” Lyon urged, mak­ ing room. “Do,” lone begged. “A glass of wine,” her brother went on and signaled a waiter. “You’re a godsend. The fact is that ■we’re killing time rather than”— his lean face wrinkled in a faint grimace—“go home. We’re also waiting for Everett who was to meet us here. We find Mino’s rather more soothing than what the papers call ’the murder flat.' Louis, an­ other glass.” "Thanks,” I said- again and shook my head. I did not dare inspect now the fresh horde of doubts that cried for attention. The most I could do was to cover up and I tried to keep my voice and my face quiet as I went on: “I’m in. the next booth, with Miss Paget. I thought I recognized your voice.” I hoped that by some sound or sign he might show alarm. The thick voice must have come from this booth. I was as sure of this as I could be of anything, but Lyon was drawling on in his faintly English, accent;- “Then Tll not ask you both to join us, though you’d be most wel­ come. I think I’m beginning to bore my sister a bit.” The fondness, that ever showed when he spoke of her, softened his face now. “We’ve been here,” said Lyon, “for—when did we come in, Louis?” “Seven-thirty, sir,!’ the lingering waiter replied. "For almost five hours, (hen. Which only goes to show how much misery loves any company, eh, Mallory? I wish you’d have a glass with us.” The band brayed on. My mind gyrated with the dancing chorus. “I must go back,” I told Lyon. 'We were on our way home. I’ve had a rather strenuous day.” “Good God,” he said with a lit­tle shudder. “Who should know that better than I?”He frowned at the welt on his hand. Ione said in her husky voice: 'I think you’re pretty generous to speak to him at all, Mr: Mallory.” “Accidents,” I answered flatly, “will happen.”"Which,” Lyon supplied with a crooked grin, “is scarcely news to our family, eh? Good luck, old chap,” he added, as I mumbled farewell and backed away. “Nice of you to hail us.” As I returned to my table, I craned my neck into the booth beyond. It was unoccupied. That voice could not have come from there. It had issued from where lone and Lyon sat. That -meant then- that Lyon— I managed to smile at Allegra-but my pretense was poor. She asked: "What is the matter?” W-N.U. se rv ic e “Nothing in the world,” I lied, and sitting down, hid my treacherous face in the beer seidel. When I lowered.”the emptied glass, I added: “Lyon and lone Ferriter are in the next booth.” She dropped her voice to match mine. Her earnest eyes probed and pried at the mask I wore. “What happened?" I jeered to hide my own confu­sion. “You seem, my child, fo have the wrong sort of bunches. Unless your brother is under the table, he had no date with her tonight They have been- here since seven-thirty.” She was only half satisfied, and mocked in turn: “And I suppose your stampede to their booth was just a social call, eh?” She was the one' person In the world to whom I wanted to tell ev­ erything and I knew I would gain merit in her eyes by confiding in her. She was watching me with a fairer version of her aunt’s derisive grin. I only said: "Curiosity rather. I thought I rec­ ognized his voice.” Perhaps, for that, the recording angel pasted a gold star on my report. “You are,” she told me, “the most chronic liar. I ever met.” “You’re'just beginning to appre­ciate my virtues," I answered. After a moment, she shivered a little and drew her coat up about her shoulders. “Can the rest of them be dis­ played in a taxicab?” she asked. “I thiak we’d better go/! I knew she was worrying afresh over her no-account brother. “There could be no better show­case,” I boasted, as we rose. The band blared its climax; the dancing girls skipped back to their dressing room in a rattle of ap­ plause. Beer rested uneasily in my stomach as I got my coat and hat from the check girl. I found my­self shivering. Not even the smile Allegra gave me as I helped her into the taxicab dispelled my mis­ ery. She was of the flotsam, the dark whirlpool into which we all were caught and whirled about ever more rapidly. We sat speechless while the taxi rolled uptown until silence grew un­ comfortable. I said at last, to keep thought at bay: 4Tll remember this evening. It’s one thing more I owe you and your aunt. I hope the pay-off will come some day.” I knew the words were stilted while I spoke, but only half my mind had followed them. Lyon had been the murderer. Why? Lyon had spoken over the telephone, again in the restaurant, in a voice not his own. Or were those blunted cadences really his, and the faintly English speech he employed, part of a disguise he wore? Beside me, AUegra chuckled. "Must you,” she asked, "behave like Electro, the mechanical man?” “Meaning what?” I heard some­ thing more than jest behind her question. She said, with an impatient ge» ture: "Meaning many things. Among them, your pretense of dumbness. You aren’t dumb.” "Thanks.” "Or not,” she pushed her attack, “as dumb as that. Why don’t you play fair?” There was earnestness in her speech. There was appeal on die face turned to mine. The world at the minute was filled with many things I was unfitted to handle. Her warm voice was blowing away ev­ erything but thought of how much I wanted her. I tried to get out of danger. Tm at least,” I told her, "that dumb. How haven’t I played fair?” She did not answer for a minute. Then she said in a quiet voice: “I’ve told you more than Fve evei told anyone else—except Grove. I— I trust you a lot. Why don’t you trust me?” Td trust you with anything that's mine,” I said. I meant it too. , She laughed, but not as if she were amused.' ) ‘So you say,” she answered. “You fall over a wine bucket, you're ia such a hurry to see who is in the next booth.” She gave me the sort of look tliaf always robbed me of my wind. Then she made it worse by slipping her strong little hand in mine. Her bright head was against my shoul­der. “You’re pretty swell at that,” she said. I think the angel must have run out of gold stars before he laid aside my record that night. If I forgot all but my need of her, it was because her eyes and her soft mouth dared me; if, for an instant, I let go of everything I'd sworn to hold fast and kissed her, at least, I caught myself-on the way down.It wasn’t the sort of kiss I, or she, wanted, yet it left us boih breath­ less. There was ringing in my ears and I thought the cab had a flat till I found it was the pounding of my heart.

CHRIST’S VALUATION OF PERSONALITY LESSON TEXT—Luke 14:1-14.GOLDEN TEXT—Is not the Ute more (hen meat, and the body than raiment?— Matthew 6:25. People, people, and more people! Have you ever said, “I’m just so tired of people. I wish I could get away from everybody”? Most af us have felt that way some time and have possibly needed and de­ served a rest. W emustnotpermit that feeling to so color our thinking, however, that we lose our interest in men and women, boys and girls. Jesus had His times of prayer and quiet communion with the Father, but for the most part we find Him out among people. He loved them and consequently dealt faithfully with them, showing tenderness to those who needed it, and often be­ing severely plain and direct in dealing with those who were,hypo­ crites. He valued human person­ ality highly, hence He gave Himself in sacrificial devotion to winning, guiding, controlling and, above aU, saving men. The lesson presents some inter­ esting contrasts. I. How and How Not to Use the Sabbath (w. 1-6). Jesus was at a formal gathering with invited guests (v. 7) in one of the chief houses of the commu­ nity, on the Sabbath Day. That such a gathering was held on that day was a sign of the degeneracy of the age. “The same thing is being done an Sunday by Christian people to­ day. They go to church (if con­ venient) in the morning and devote the afternoon and evening to recre­ ation and social” occasions. We agree with Dr. Morgan that “the whole thing is a sign of spiritual decadence.” That’s how not to spend the day of rest and worship. . Another wrong thing was that they used the occasion to try to entrap Jesus. He was at the feast, not to “have a good time,” but to minister to their spiritual needs. They brought the sick man in to tempt Jesus to heal on the Sabbath Day. He used their trickery to condemn them and to silence them (w . 4, 6). Declaring God’s truth and His love for man by worship and by work for Him—that is the right way to use the Lord's Day. Let’s get back to its proper observance. H. What and What Not to Do for Advancement (w. 7-11).Getting ahead, even at the expense of others, seems to have been quite the thing in our Lord’s time, as it is today. Looking at that smug, self- satisfied crowd of “grabbers,” Je­ sus made good use of His. presence at the feast to expose their folly and selfishness. Again we agree with Dr. Morgan that one should not “try for the chief seat. Why not? Be­ cause the place of honor is for the honorable man; and a man who struggles to sit in the place of honor proves thereby that he is not an honorable man.” Think it over!. The way up in spiritual things is always down. Humility, which is so despised by the world, is precious in Uie sight of God, and will be re­ warded by Him. The principle stat­ ed in verse 11 is and always will be true.' The young man or woman Who really wants to get ahead will do well to let it control both thought and deed. It is a far better rule for the New Year Uiahs any resolu­ tion you may have made—and prob­ ably forgotten by now. HI. Who and Who Not to Invite for Dinner (w. 12-14). Is the Lord interested in such a matter as that? Indeed He is! Ev­ erything about life concerns Him, and, as a matter of fact, this is a very important point. Here an at­titude toward life is revealed which is vital and fundamental. Hospitality is a virtue highly re­ garded by Uie Bible (see such pas­ sages as Rom. 12:13; I Tim. 3:2; Titus 1:8; I Pet. 4:9). To debase it by asking only those whom we'ex­ pect will ask us in return, is really to destroy it. It is hot hospitality at all to limit our invitations to those who invite us. Obviously we are not to cut them off simply be­ cause Uiey do ask us. That is not the point. We are not to let that be the controlling factor. Ask those who cannot pay you back, if you really want to get a blessing out of it. There is so much need in the world that we who fol­low Christ have IitUe time to spend merely entertaining those whd have no need. God will recompense. Dr. J. W. Bradbury in The.Gist of the Lesson well says, “There is a good reason not to seek recompense here; there are more enduring and valu­ able recompenses hereafter (Matt. 6:1-6, 16-18). When we get no rec­ ompense here for the good we do, we ought rather to rejoice than be sad. It assures better recompense hereafter.” He goes on to say, “The profess- ing church has often followed the world’s method rather than Christ’s (James 2:1-6).” Sad—but true. What shall we do-about it? 1T 4HIS design was so extremely A popular, when it first appeared, that it is repeated now, for those who might have missed it the first time.

C. WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) NEW YORK. — Simultaneously, Chancellor Hitler and Mme. Elsa Schiaparelli renounce gold and extol the fruits of the spirit. Prepar- „ , . ... c ing to returnSchiaparelli Says tos F ra n c e Cost Fetters Our soon, the fa- A rf of Creation ^ k e r "feds that Americans are too much given to money-grubbing to appreciate the beautiful art of couture. “The Paris designer is free,” she says, but here in America “in creating a costume you must think about cost.” So she’s going back to Paris where art is unfettered and nobody worries about money. > . MoljTieux fled, to make gowns in London, but Lucien Lelong, the new Judge Landis of the French fash­ ion industry, remains in the service of art—not money of course. The latter implication might suggest that Paris as a continuing world style center is somehow geared into Chancellor Hitler’s jug - handled economy, and that, of course is a rather gauche idea. In Herr Hitler’s new order, it’s art for art’s sake. Soon after the occupation of Paris, Mme. Schiaparelli ar­ rived here to begin a national lecture tour. We seemed to be suffering from much misappre­ hension abont France. It was business as usual in Paris, and anyone who fancied that New York might become the world style center had another thought coming. However, she reserved her apostrophe of art against money for the last. Addressing the Junior League of Los Angeles recently, she said: “AU of us in Paris are impressed by the generosity of American men regarding their women. American men have a world-wide reputation for the money they spend on women. “I say bravo to you! Go right ahead.” I had an idea that the French felt that way a few years ago when I was privileged to see some of the inner workings of Lanvin’s estab­ lishment in Paris, to talk to the vendeuses and witness the defer­ ence to a Texas oil magnate, when he came in to help his wife choose a gown. Mme. Schiaparelli lived five years in New York. Her daughter, Ma- risa, was born in her Ninth street house in Greenwich Village. That was before the days of her fame and opulence, and she thought about money a great deal in those days. Taking an unheated Sat in Patchin place, a dingy little nub­ bin of a street off Jefferson Mar­ ket court, she found a $20 bill on the floor. It was a good omen. Other money came and she returned to a garret in Par­is, to write poetry. A sweater design brought her into her ca­ reer. For one who scorns mon­ ey she is a masterful and dili­ gent business woman, her huge establishment turning out around 10,000 garments a year at prices up to $5,000. Of a distinguished Italian family of astronomers and scholars, she has been de­ scribed by Edna Le Fevre as “a woman nobody can know, ab­ sorbed with books on metaphys­ ics, aesthetics and philosophy.” Our Newest Bomber in Flight M il The newest and best of the U.

Without benefit of any ac­ ademic seminars, he became a hay­ loft radio inventor. This, incidental­ly, was in the Bronx where there weren’t any haylofts; but m: 'te it a cellar and the result is the same. After 32 years he appears with bis critically important inven­ tion. He got H job with a wire­ less station in Sacramento, and was soon throwing his voice far­ ther than anybody else in those parts. He later worked with. Lee De Forrest and by 1932 had brought through a “cold light” radio tube. He started work on his jet expulsion or “rocket” motor four years ago. Engi­ neers say it may increase the speed of fighting planes by 200 miles an hour. ► ‘The Olympics of Aviation’ 7 Will Defend Title W B l- •^**£3 -rappjgS*- Dive bombers will demonstrate their prowess at the annual All-Amer­ ican Air Maneuvers—the Olympics of Aviation—in Miami, Fla., January 10 to 12.

IUCILLE BALL cut a three- storied wedding cake for her friends and tossed her bouquet to the ladies who attended the reception she and Desn Amaz gave before departing for Holly­ wood and more work at the RKO Radio studios. It wasn’t exactly a wedding bouquet, since the reception was what might be called delayed. Their elopement startled prac­ tically everybody; the general opin­ ion had been that their romance was one of those things that are cooked up for the sake of sweet publicity. It’s reported that even the studio was surprised. You can see the honeymooning couple in “Too Many Girls.” The young boy above points to January 5, the day when the people in his village of Rodanthe, N. C., celebrate Old Christmas on the day before Epiphany. Santa CIaus is shown making a delayed visit to one of the homes while wIocaI talent” provides music for the dancing which tlways accompanies the celebration. These publicity stunts—“angles” is the name for them—are the bane of a press agent’s life; For exam­ ple, if a movie star is arriving in New York it’s up to her press agent to think up something that will sound reasonable enough to land the story of her coming, with photographs, on the front pages of the newspapers. Sometimes the stories are true, of course—but it’s usually the syn­ thetic ones that get the most space. When Linda Darnell arrived in New York recently she got a fine press reception. She announced to reporters that she was allergic to rabbits, cats, tobacco, horses, feath­ ers and baking powder—she rides a horse in her latest picture, “Chad Hanna,” so that got the name of the picture into the story too. Well, Linda’s a beautiful girl, and maybe she really is allergic to cats, horses, baking powder, etc. “Andy Hardy” has reached the age where he has a private secre­ tary; in the new Hardy picture, Mickey Rooney graduates from high Hf Philip Murray, new C.I.O. presi­ dent, will preside at an important board meeting Jan. 8. It is believed this meeting will open a campaign of organization in all indnstries. MICKEX ROONEY school and the secretary enters his life. In this picture Kathryn Gray-' son, a 16-year-old singer, makes her film debut." James Roosevelt’s “Pot o’ Gold” finally went before the cameras the other day, after seven delays. First the director, George Marshall, was ill; then, when James Stewart could work, Paulette Goddard couldn’t. Finally Roosevelt himself was called up by the national defense emergen­ cy. Even now, when the picture has finally got under way, Stewart is doing retakes at another studio, and they have to shoot around him. The other day Henry Fonda jumped off a pullman car while clad in pajamas and a dressing gown, and sat down in a mud puddle, dur­ ing a heavy rain. When he rose he heaved a sigh of relief. A series of seven comedy accidents which he’d suffered for “The Lady Eve” was over, and iie was free to go ahead and make love to Barbara Stanwyck according to the script. He’d stumbled over Miss Stan­ wyck’s legs twice, crashed into wait­ers carrying trays, fallen over a sofa into a platter of food, been drenched by (I) roast beef gravy and (2) hot coffee, and pulled some heavy por­ tieres down on himself. AU for the sake of amusing those of us who go to the movies.— *— Rndy Vallee bas emerged as a triple threat man on his Thursday program over the NBC red network. Not only does he sing and lead the orchestra, but he also does a lot of verbal sparring with John Barry­more, who is now a permanent fea­ ture of the program. We don’t know whether Barrymore has been coach­ ing Vallee, but Rudy’s' histrionic abilities certainly have improved. It takes plenty of ability to stand up to Barrymore, but Vallee seems to have more than held his own.

Formation of Volcano A volcano is a mountain formed Of materials erupted, or thrown up, from the earth. Originally the volcano was a weak point in the outer crust of the earth. Heated' materials broke through and were! thrown out, due to the presence of steam. These include molten rock, or lava, volcanic ash and dust; they, gradually build a cone-shaped' mountain round the mouth of the volcano. Volcanoes usually occur in those places where the crumpling of the earth’s crust has thrown up high mountains and left weak spots.

Are recom- grateful users everywhere, ighbort Chic Silhouette Figure Depends , On Proper Foundation Garment By CHERIE NICHOLAS YOUR costume may be the pink of perfection, your accesso­ ries nothing less than glamorous, but no matter how smartly appar­ eled, unless you are correctly cor­ seted in the proper foundation gar­ ment to make your figure conform, so far as is possible, to the slim svelte lines that current fashion de­ mands, you will fail to qualify “up to the mark” in general appearance. Ladies, look to your corsetry! Soon it will be time to take up the matter of new clothes for spring. Start the program right with a care­ fully selected foundation garment wardrobe and see what a difference it makes when you come to be fit­ ted in the new frocks and suits. The long - stemmed American beauty glorified by United States de­ signers in their first season of ind^ pendence from Paris influence calls for intelligent corseting to underline the new styles with high, well-con­ toured bustline, straighter and slightly longer waistline and sleek hip and thighs, American corsetry has made amazing progress in achieving control without sacrificing comfort in the foundation garment. What special type of foundation you should wear depends upon your individual needs. • Study your figure in a mirror to get a clear picture of faults to be corrected. Tiien go “in conference” with your favorite corsetiere. In analyzing your fig­ ure defects and virtues, remember that the side and back views are even more important than the front, because they show your posture and distribution of weight. It is especially important this sea­ son that your bustline be properly contoured. The tendency in current costume design is to accent top in­ terest in moulded and draped and swathed treatments. The new clas­ sic daytime wools with their suave simply tailored blouse tops make expert corsetry imperative. This is especially true of brassieres which must be meticulously selected. Re­ member that unless you wear some type of pantie girdle and brassiere under your slack suits, swimsuits, tennis, golf or riding clothes, your figure cannot look attractive.It is also important that you have two identical foundations for every­ day wear to keep your figure mould­ ed properly and comfortably. Two foundations worn alternately and kept fresh and in good repair may be expected to hold their original lines and do their job of figure con­ trol appreciably longer than two purchased successively. One foundation for formal wear is a wardrobe necessity because the figure needs extra help to look its best under formal gowns, which are more fitted in line than daytime styles. New foundations for evening of­ fer several outstanding features. Brassieres are cut to give more accent to the bustline than for day­ light hours, and have many clever tricks to suit the straps to the vari­ ous decollete lines. Corsets and all- in-ones are cut longer in the skirt to prevent thigh bulge and afford a suave, gently curving line from waist to lmees without any hint of stiffness in effect. Shown in the illustration are two examples of. the sleekly moulded evening silhouettes favored this sea­ son. Note the dress to the left with perky wee bows tying in a one- side fastening. It requires perfected corsetry to achieve the youthful fashion-right lines here delineated. Jacket costumes as centered in the group are outstanding in the eve­ ning mode and exact expert founda­tion garment fitting. A goodlooking daytime black wool dress with which to wear a single costume jewelry piece (in this instance a stunning bowknot pin at the waistline) has become a staple in every wardrobe. Shown here to the right is an over- the-bust draped effect which re­ quires very special corsetry because oif its top interest. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Loop Felt Fetching little hats made of bright loop felt are effective with tweed or- dark fur coats. Some of these jaunty sprightly headpieces are so. fash­ ioned they look like a single large flower caught firmly to a fitted cap made of ribbon velvet. They are tied at the back in a big bow, the flowerlike cluster of felt loops poses piquantly over the forehead. Tbe hat of felt loops pictured is a pill­ box type in moss green with beige. The long-sleeve muff is in green velvet with a ruche bordering at •each end made of felt loops match­ ing the hat. New Trim for Shoes Even your shoes have a dressed- Up air this season, with trimmings of fur bows and beading. Tailored bows are used to trim pumps made of crocodile, and frilled bows and beading add a smart look to suede •shoes for afternoon. ‘Twin Hats’ Copy Headgear of Men Probably the most important style item this winter is the companionate hat, known also as “he and she,” “Mr. and Mrs.,” and “twin” hate. These hats are merely hats that look alike—one for men, one for women. Actually the twin hats are a bless­ ing, both to men who have put up with some pretty wacky looking women’s hats in the past, and to the ladies, who are always looking for something new. The distaff twin hat is, of course, out and out larceny. It is styled to duplicate the sportier men’s styles. Manhattan has seen them in telescopes or pork-pies, der­ bies, felt caps and in the so-called double brim safari felts. As a style item, they are excellent. Aifterican designers of women’s hats have a knack for feminizing these twin adaptations to the point where they are, if anything, more feminine than distinctly feminine hats. Red, White, Blue Featured in South Women vacationers spending their winter in the southlands are wear­ ing dresses, patriotically featuring red, white and blue. For daytime wear two or all three of the brilliantly contrasting colors are'combined, and are often further trimmed with gold braid insignia or belt buckles that are red, .white and blue shields. Evening clothes, whether dinner dresses or formal gowns, nearly all have full skirts. They are made of sharkskin, crepe, organdy, lace, taf­ feta, and net, with black, white and blue the reigning colors. FIRST-AID fo the AILING H O U SE by Roger B. HVUtman'® Roser B. Whitman—WNU Service.) Preserving Paintbrushes. QUESTION: What steps should be taken to preserve and. keep in good condition paintbrushes, after they have been used? How is it possible to get out the color from a brush before starting to use it in a different color? Or should the brushes be kept separately for each color? Answer: When a job’is finished, clean the brush by wiping the ex­ cess paint off on the side of the can, rinse thoroughly, in turpentine, and then in three changes of benzine or clear gasoline, being extremely careful of fire when doing so. Fol­ low by shaking out and hanging out to dry. If a brush has been thor­ oughly cleaned, it can be used for another color, although to be on the. safe side it is better to have a brush for each color. To avoid difficulty in cleaning brushes, never dip the brush so deeply that paint will get under the ferrule. Stained Driveway. Question: I would like some infor­ mation on how to clean our con­ crete driveway. There are rust stains, automobile oil and grease spots. Answer: For rust removal, dis­ solve one part sodium citrate in six parte of water and add six parts of commercial glycerine. Mix a por­ tion of this with enough powdered whiting or chalk to form a paste, and spread on in a thick coat. When dry, replace with fresh paste, or moisten with the remaining liquid. A week or more may be required to remove the stain. Remove fresh oil stains by cover­ ing them with an inch or two of dry Portland cement. For old stains •wash with a solution of two pounds of trisodium phosphate to the gallon of hot water. After cleaning, re­ move all traces of the solution by rinsing with clear water. Copper Forch Screens. Question: Evidently the wire on the porch screens had not- been treated. White framework is black from stains. I am advised to go over the wire cloth with two parts of spar varnish, one of linseed oil and one part of turpentine. Clean the woodwork with ammonia and water. Paint with aluminum paint, then two coats of white paint. Woiild this be your method? Must the am­ monia and:water be rinsedoff? Answer: Before varnishing the screens, be sure they are free of dust and grease. For washing the woodwork, use a half-cup of am­ monia in a quart of water, and rinse thoroughly with plenty of dear wa­ ter. The coat of aluminum paint will not be necessary. Whatever re­ mains of the stain will hot “bleed” through the new paint. Roof Tar on a Coat. Question: How do you remove roof tar from a woolen coat? Answer: Cover the tar with grease or butter and allow to remain there until the tar is softened. Scrape off as much of the tar as possible, using a dull-edged knife. Repeat thisuntU the tar has been removed down to the fabric. The rest of the stain is then removed with carbon tetra­ chloride, or other spot-removing liquid that is noninfiammable. Spread the fabric over a shallow pan and pour the cleaning liquid over the stain until it has disappeared.* When the liquid becomes discolored, throw it. away, using more of the clean chemical. For very difficult stains, however, it is always safer to have the job done by a profes­ sional cleaner. Soot in .Chimney. Question:’ I have a sloped roof and find it difficult to clean out my chimney. Is there any chemical on the market which I can use. to burn out the soot from the chimney? Answer: Soot removal compounds can be purchased at plumbers’ shops or heating supply houses. However, for best results the chim­ ney should be cleaned by hand. In cleaning out a chimney, where the roof is sloping, it is best to build a platform. One end of the platform is made without legs or supports, which reste on the roof; the other end is made with legs of the proper length, and is placed against the chimney. This arrangement will give you good footing. Crack Filler. Question: In kitchen and bath­ room there is a separation caused by the failure of the material at the point where the tiling meets the floor. How should this be filled? Answer: If the floor is also tile, small cracks can be filled with a cement intended for tile work, to be bad at a hardware or paint store, and large cracks with a paste made of Portland cement and water. If the floor is wood, fill the cracks with caulking compound. *“ Summer Water Heating.- Question: There is a water heat­ ing unit built into my oiled-fired steam boiler that operates automat­ ically during the summer. The wa­ ter level in the boiler-is at two- thirds full. Is it practical .to lower the water level in the boiler during the summer, so ,as not to heat" the large amount of water in the boiler during the summer and effect some economy in fuel consumption? Answer: For efficient year-around operation the water level gauge in your boiler should not be more, nor less, than half-full. H o u s e h o ld N e w s OF COURSE TOU LIHE CANDT (See Recipes Below) Making candy is really outside the realm of general cooking, but with a little guidance, even an amateur can work real magic with sugar and wa­ ter. Simply by changing tempera­ ture and the method of handling, a wide variety of fondants, fudges, and hard canuies can be made. Utensils for Making Candy. Saucepans should have broad bot­ toms, and should be large enough to allow for “boiling up.” The inside surface should be smooth, because rough spots may cause candies to stick and bum. Measuring cups —use standard measuring cups for successful re­ sults; accurate measurements are essential. Spoons and spatulas — wooden spoons are desirable for candy mak­ ing because they do not become un­ comfortably hot, nor does the wooden spoon , handle cut into one’s hand during beating. Use standard table­ spoons and teaspoons for measuring. A medium-sized spatula is a help in scraping candy from kettles, and lifting candy from the pan. Raking sheets, platters and pans— ordinary cookie sheets provide a good surface tor pouring hard can­ dies; large platters may be used for taffy, which is to be taken out and pulled, or for fondant which is to be beaten. A marble slab from an old- fashioned marble-topped table or bu­ reau makes an excellent smooth, level surface for pouring candies. Candy thermometer—a thermom­ eter is essential in order to obtain uniform and good results in making candy. Candies are classified as "creamy candies,” such as fondant or fudge, and as “taffies” and “hard” can­ dies, like nut brittle and lollipops. In making creamy candies two rules must be? observed: cook the candy to a definite temperature, and cool to room temperature before you begin to beat. • Brazilian Molasses Balls.

Wash down the crystals that form during cooking, using cheese cloth which has been wrapped around a fork or spoon. When the candy reaches 310 de­ grees, remove from heat, add fla­ voring and coloring and mix very quickly. Pour into small buttered muffin pans, filling them only Vt- inch deep. As-soon as the lollipops begin to set (which wiU take only a few minutes) loosen them from sides of pan and turn out on table top. Insert the pointed end of a small'skewer into the side of each lollipop, working it in carefully to avoid breaking the candy. It wiU be necessary to Work quickly. Milk Chocolate.

' Dates For Tobacco Meet­ ing Are Set. . Tentative dates for a series of to bacco meetings in 22 North Caro­ lina counties'have been announced by representatives of State College extension service at Raleigh. The meetings will be held dnring the month of January and February and discussion of. tobacco disease and insect control, fertilization and cultivation will be- held. L. T. Weeks, extension tobacco specialist, J. O. Rowell, extension entomologist; and Howard R. Gar- riss, extension plant pathologist will arrange the time and place of each meeting. State college specialists plan to use film strips and colored slides in illustrating the essential points of economical tobacco culture. “ We do not intend,” they declared, “ to show tobacco farmers how to pro­ mote more^economical production— more tobacco on less acres.” The tentative dates, subject to confirmation by county agents, as follows: February 12, Yadkin, Caldwell and Alexander; February 13, Davie. Paid $500 For TownOf Elkin. Did you know that once upon a time the town of Elkin was sold tor the sum of $500 ? Well, the site upon which the town has been built was the trans­ action. In the year 1869, a cer tain tract or parcel of-land contain­ ing six hundred and forty acres more or less, was sold by Richard H. Parks, of Iredell county, to Richard Gwyn, county of Sutry, “ for and in consideration of the sum of fi«e hundred dollars.” ' This tract or parcel of land was described In an indenture dated Sep ember 28, 1869, as lyingonthe north side of the Yadkin river.' Its boundaries were marked by the usu­ al sourwood tree, black' oak, pine tree, etc., to be found in almost any deed to a piece of, property. Five hundred dollars was the price then, and no doubt Richard H. Parks, who was Dr R. H. Parks, father of J. B Parks, an Elkin man, thought he had sold at a real bargain And no doubt, too.

Anyway, upon that land that was described as ‘’a certain tract or par. cel” away back in 1869, now stands the town of Elkin! Accorr ing to J. B.

Here is a champion, fish .story ior all you fishermen. It is related at New Bern by Gilbert S. Waters, who attained nationwide notoriety for hit famous home-made automo bile which still runs in that city after almost 3 3 years of use. . Mr. Waters bought a bushel of oysters. As he opened one of them, out flopped a striped bass about three inches long. There was no oyster in the shell. After, recover, ing from his surprise of finding the fish instead of an oyster, Mr. .Wat­ ers put the. fish in a bowl of water where it remained alive for almost 2 0 hours. - A D S For SALE IN OUR NEXT ISSUF Strange Mountain Fowl Couldn't Be KOIed Or Cooked. * Morganton—A story of a strange bird which defied hunters to kill it, identifv it and eat it. comes down from Linville Falls as refreshing as a cold breeze from the mountains. It was an;unusual fowl -tbe likes of which no one in the area had ever seen before—which a hunting party killed . near Linville Falls Monday. The story begins when Wood­ row Rich,' Boston Red Sox pitcher, drove into the village to see his brother, Roy, operator of the Park­ way cafe and to get iu a hit of hunting. Accompanied by Officer S. D. OUis and Charlie Martin, a cafe employee. While tramping over the rough terrain, Officer Ollis, a former Mor- gantonion, spied what he thought was a ring-necked pheasant and fired away. What he shot might he termed a “Whatizzit” for want of a better name. - The. size of a small hen and weighed about two and a half pounds, the bird has a tongue which operates in a manner similar to a reel, being able to stick it out about six inches. And the tongue has notches on the end, ac­ cording to The News-Herald’s in­ formant, Robert M. Menies,'-Lin- ville Falls merchant. The bird had a red head with the color fading in­ to a bluish gray over the body. . As remarkable as its physical makeup was its resistance to death. Eight times, Menzies said, the hun­ ters shot it poiut blank with a .3 2 calibre rifle, and ir still refused to die. Fiuallv, Albert Franklin step, ped in and cut its head off with a butcher knife. Equally defiant after death, the. bird remained almost inedible after much cooking The louger it re. mained on the stove the tougher the' meat seemed to become. After four hours, the cook declared he could hardly stick a fork in the gravy. And when last The News-Her. aid received a report the myster­ ious fowl was still cooking, ;and the village buzzed with puzzlement ov er the unidentified bird. Ijames X Roads News.

Ferree, of Asheboro, well known G. O. P. leader in the state has called upon Ralph W. Gardner, president of the Young Democrats and legislator-elect from Cleveland connty, in a public statement, to promote a felling for better and more honest election laws’’ through Gardner’s proposed Democratic dubs in his high schools and col- leges of the state. “I folly appre'clate the enthusi­ asm of this young politician, Fer- ree’s statement begins, "and trust that he will, in organizing bis new clubs, promote ai feeling for better and more honest election laws, I would suggest that he advocate to bis new clubs the'same election laws tor primary and general election. The last legislature abolished the absentee ballot law and markers for the general election. “ The promoter for this two elec tion law system stated that the De­ mocratic party in western North Carolina needed a little.lee-way and prevail upon the legislature to leave the absentee ballot law and marker system for. the general election. The same legislature also failed to make provision for paying th e markers and thereby left it up to the politicians and candidates to pay them for their work od election day. “ Mr. Gardner also prevail upon his dubs to change the methods and manner in which election Officials are appointed. Under our present system the Democratic party ap­ points all the election offidals aud gives their party about, two thirds majority in each prednct. This is wholly unfair and I know of no other organization in the state that authorizes such an . unfair system where contests are held. Mr. Gardner . might also advise his newly-organized dubs to advo­ cate that the next legislaturepassa law placing the registration books back at the county courthouse with air other county records instead of Ieaving thqm in the hands of the chairman of tbe board of elections.” Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler. 000000 Tom Foster, Tommie Hendrix and Daniel Smith climbing Out of car on cold morning—Jim Wall dis­ cussing oyster supper—Miss Ruby Angell looking at diamond rings— Clegg Clement, Jr., leaving town all dressed up—Miss Pauline Camp­ bell looking for a fire—Miss Helen Holman waiting to get into Regis­ ter's office—Wiiburn Stonestreetsa- looting Lucky Moore—Mrs. Char­ lie Leagans writing in postoffice lobby—Misses Troxle-- and McIver waiting for postoffice window to open—Ralph Mooney talking about recent wedding—Frank and God­ frey Click standiog in sunshine on Main street—MissesSue Brown and Mary Neil Ward sitting in auto— Roscoe Stroud wrapped up in over­ coat and looking cold—Robert Fos­ ter carrying money in bank—Jim Starrette enjoying cold drink in Mocksville Cafe—Aged lady carry­ ing oil lamp down Main street— Ladies discussing taxi-cab service— Buck Summers and Charlie Sain standing on highway—Miss Smith busy counting money—Mrs. Arthur Daniel buying groceries. Kelland Raps War Hysteria. Some are predicting that when the European war ceases this coun­ try will experience one of the worst panics ever known. If business gets any worse than it has been for the past ten years the small busi- ness man and the farmer will have to live on one meal a day and sleep. in a shuck pile. A woman writer in The Kansan says that a stray cat has recently attached itself to the neighborhood in which she lives and they named it Roosevelt for they cannot get rid of it Many another neighbor­ hood is infested with the same thing perhaps. Some of onr folks*who are get­ ting old age pensions are under the impression that the President is paying them. This is far from cor­ rect. Every man and woman, boy or girl who is working, helps pay these, pensions, regardless of what political party or what church they belong to. “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time,” or words to that effect. New York.—Clarence ton Kelland, author in a statement released by the No Foreign War committee said that the people of the' United States were “being worked upon adroitly by tbe print­ ed word, by pictures, by tbe. air waves, to make us ready to accept foreign war when it comes ” , “ We are being frightened,” the statement said. “ We are beingat­ tacked by waves of hysteria. We are having bogey men dangled be­ fore onr eyes.” , KelIand added that “the No For­ eign War committee.mu'tshoW our people which of these bogey men are filled with sawdust. There is but one way to beat-insidious prop­ aganda and that is with truth.” “ Nothing that can happy across the acean can justify the slaughter of a million American boys,” he went on Wholesale murder in Europe does not warrant a whole­ sale suicide by' American's. 'A mil­ lion living youths can defend the United States against any aggressor, but a million-dead American youths In graveyards three thousand miles away-can repel no foe.” Results In New York. There have been many editorials written since the national election on November 5 to the effect that tbe resdlts were dose despite Mr. Roosevelt’s big majority in ibe elec­ toral coliege. Nothing emphasizes the soundness, of these contentions more than the official reports from the state of New York; In the Empire State with its big block -of electoral votes, Mr. Willkie receiv ed 3 ,0 3 7 ,4 7 8 votes on the Reonb- lican ticket, to 2,83 4 ,5 0 0 cast for Mr. Roosevelt by Democrats. Yet Mr. Roosevelt carried the state by 224,400"votes, Tbe explanation is simple. Mr. Roosevelt received 4 1 7,- 41 8 votes on the American Labor Party ticket, a radical organization, which is by no ■ means Democratic in .the generally-accepted sense of the term, ‘ . It was this Americau Latior Par­ ty which made it possible for JVfr. Roosevelttocarrv NewYork; The score of Republican and Democrat, ic votes cast for President, as pre­ sented by the official returns, is an interesting One.—Exchange. “ R e a d ’E m a n d R e a p ” o u r a d q Should all the school teachers be retired on a pension why not all the town, county, state and Federal office holders? That might be a good idea. Some of our office­ holders who have been in Congress for. the past 20 or 3 0 years should Buding- ; either be voted out or retired on a pension so that younger men would have a chance. When a fellow once gets to the pie counter' it takes a cyclone or a case of dynamite to blast him away. What this coun­ try needs is more statesmen and fewer politicians. There are lots of people in this community who claim to be prohi­ bitionists but according to returns. in the recent election, they don’t vote as they prav. Roger Babson, who ran for president on tbe Prohi­ bition ticket, received by 5 8 ,6 0 0 votes, only-a few more than Brow- der, the communist, received. Most folks vote one way and pray an­ other. . This reminds us of a good old MocksviUe Democrat who told us many years ago that he went to the polis and voted for William J. Bryan for president, but was pray- ing that McKinley would be'elected. A Dream. The night before New Year the tired, worn and hard-worked editor was looking over his subscription books, and name after name he no­ ticed showed that numbers of his readers bad been for the past year getting his paper and reading tbe pages he had worked so bard over for 52 weeks without paying him a cent. As be turned page after page his heart grew sick, and slum, ber gradually creeoed .upon him, and he quietly closed the book and - —retired. . Some time during the night he dreamed a , dream, and the New Year had been ushered in, and be­ fore him lay tbe same subscription book; and to one side lay a shining pile of silver, all of bis delinquent subscribers bad come in and settled up, and paid one year in advance. The effect of the. dream was. so powerful that he awoke; and lo, the shining silver was gone, and the same old delinquent marks were there. It was a dream. A F IN E THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) VTEW YORK--Joseph C. Grew, ’ ambassador to Japan, got his start by crawling into a cave and getting a half-nelson on a tiger. No Bear.Wrangler, ™ Tiger-Tilter Was talk back to , Diplomat Grew ^ ignM“ ” l oka and to tell him that “The Amer­ ican people are firmly determined in certain matters.”About that tiger. Just out of Har­ vard, the young Bostonian headed for Singapore, to piece out his sheep­ skin with a tiger skin. He hunted big game for two years in southern Asia, engaging in a’ great deal of jungle milling before he found the open door in China—the entrance to the tiger’s cave which was his gate* way to a distinguished diplomatio career. When the tiger story was pub- , Iished, it canght the eye of Pres­ ident Iheodore Roosevelt, but it was a later bear story which really stirred his interest. Xonng Mr. Grew took three straight falls from an angry bear. Nat­ urally, T. R. saw in that the makings of a diplomat. Cables the next day rooted the bear- wrangler and tiger-tilter into a lifetime career in diplomacy, starting a post with the Egyp­ tian consulate-general at Cairo. He was paced steadily on up through posts at Mexico City, Petro- grad, Berlin, Vienna, Copenhagen and Berne. He is rounding 60, 36 years in the diplomatic service, tall, erect, weathered, graying. HU durable career typewriter has come along with him down the years, and on it he raps out his terse reports to the state department. Bear-wran­ gling, diplomacy and this and that has left him with only one good ear, but it serves to register a bigger ear­ ful than most diplomats get with two. Mrs. Grew is a granddaughter of Commodore Perry, who opened Japan to the western world—or vice versa. Living with them at the em­bassy is their daughter, Mrs. Cecil Lyon, with her two children. ♦— "IyrERNE MARSHALL was born ’ and grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and for 26 years has been editor of the Cedar Rapids Gazette. Scribe Stays Patr Believes the V. S. thinks the U. Should Do Same f A. ought to do the same. In New York, he becomes the or­ganizer and director of the No For­ eign War Committee, which puts him in the opposite corner to Wil­ liam Allen White, the other sage of mid-western newspapering,' who heads the Committee to Defend America. Not that Mr. White wants war, but their ideas are so opposed that they already are pumping large-caliber editorials at each otter, Mr. Marshall lost one war. For his courageous anti-graft campaign in Cedar Rapids, he was awarded the Pulitzer prize, on May 4, 1938. But while the r cheers were still echoing, the Iowa Supreme court, the next day, knocked out his graft • charges against 31 persons. He kept on slagging, however, and is highly esteemed in those parts as a self-starting, hard-hitting editor. He was in London in 1911, writing for the London Chronicle, returned, home and later left his newspaper desk for a stretch of machine-gun­ ning in the big war. He didn’t like it and now says enough is enough. 1 He is the father of six children. *---- O CUSTOMER who ever dropped ’ in at Jacques De Sieyes’ Fifth avenue perfume shop for a spot of “fleur d’amour” would ever have thought of the elegant M. De Sieyes as a fighting man. But that’s the way it is with the French—elegant, but tough, on occasion. M. De Sieyes was a flyirfg ace in the World war, lost a leg, was wounded five tipies and is now looking for a re­ turn engagement as he serves as the personal representative of Gen. Charles De Gaulle, to rally the “free French” in this country. Just now, ra£h three other members of Gen- eSl De Gaulle’s American commit­ tee, he gives vehement assurance that the present political machina­ tions of tiie Nazis will consolidate France and steel it for final resist, ance. M. De Sieyes was'a classmate and intimate friend of General De Gaulle at the St. Cyr military academy. They lost touch with - each other daring the World war and M. De Sieyes has not seen his old friend since he left Paris in 1930. But he cabled the gen­ eral when the latter made a new base in London and issued his stirring appeal for the sup­ port of free Frenchmen through­ out the world, pledging un­changed loyalty. The result was his personal representation at ' the general here. . .

J P YOU lived within a ten- mile radius Ol P riscilla Lane’s home you’d be inore than likely to encounter her at one of the neighborhood movie houses' in that vicinity, and to see her afterward buttonholing the manager. The “Four Mothers” star takes her movie-making very seriously, so she quizzes the men who make money by showing movies. “What do you think of that picture?” l4Does it seem to be drawing?” “Do the fans here like that star?” That’s PRISCILLA LANE the kind of thing Priscilla wants to know. When she’s working she cov­ ers two or three pictures a week; other times she takes iir four or five.

Remem­ ber it when Norma Shearer made it nine years ago? Laraine Day will play “Mary Dugan.” (You probably saw her in “Foreign Correspond- ent.”) Edward J. Peters, chief engineer of Paramount’s air conditioning de­ partment, has perfected a new type of ice. He calk it “snow ice,” and because it lasts almost one-third longer than ordinary ice and re­ quires a third less' time to produce, it may affect ,the commercial ice industry. It was developed because Director Charles Vidor was shooting a scene in “New York Town” (Fred Mac- Murray, Mary Martin and Robert Preston co-starring); bright set lights striking ordinary transparent ice in water made the ice invisible to the camera. Vidor wanted the ice to show, to emphasize an im­portant story point. Hence the new ice. Hollywood's biggest variety show —Al Pearce and His Gang—takes nine microphones to get their Fri­ day broadcasts on the CBS network. Carl Hoff’s orchestra alone takes three; Pearce has one, and the rest of the cast another. Billy Gtould gets a sixth one for his ..sound effects, and Wendell Niles has a booth, equipped with a microphone, of course, for his closing commercial. There’s an audience applause mi­ crophone, so that we who listen may know how much those who are pres­ ent are enjoying it, and when Bill Jordan and George Kent, present their two-piano numbers the ninth mike is added to the engineer’s prob­lems. Apparently quiz shows are as pop­ ular as ever with radio audiences— two new ones will take to the air shortly, over the CBS Pacific Net­ work. They're “Don’t Be Personal” and “Talk Your Way Out of This One”—studio audiences will partici­pate, and the winners will receive cash prizes. — *— Girls who have ambitions to act on the screen or on the air might take a tip from Lurene Tuttle; she never misses a Helen Hayes broad­ cast, because she learns so much from Miss Hayes, and she studies Bette Davis’ work in pictures—she says that when she worked with Miss Davis, the star gave her many valu­ able suggestions on the technique of acting.

Roger B. Whitman—WNU Service.) Clogged Septic Tank. QUESTION: About May, 1934, I installed a septic tank and dramage field for sewage disposal at my country home. Up to the pres­ ent I have had no trouble. Now the toilet bowl is stopped up. The plumb­ er took the cover off the tank and found a crust on the surface about 10 inches, thick, which he saidis due to lack of fermentation, caused by the tank being too low and not get­ ting the heat of the sun. The plumb­er suggests raising the plumbing in the cellar and raising the tank to within 10. inches of the surface. Shall I follow the plumber’s sugges­ tions or shall I use the yeast cake suggestion of a neighbor? Answer: The crust should be re­ moved. It is an accumulation of grease and oil, which has solidified. A septic tank should be inspected every two or three years, and any substantial accumulation of grease removed. A grease trap between the tank and the kitchen drain will eliminate much of this trouble. If the septic tank has been operating satisfactorily for five years, I see no reason for raising it, as well as the plumbing. After removing the crust in the septic tank, if the toilet continues to be stopped up, it is quite possible that there is some stoppage in the pipe line that should be removed. Yeast cakes are used to .stimulate the bacterial action in septic tanks. Six cakes are dis­solved in tepid (not hot) water in a wash basin, then allowed to flow into the tank. Painting an Attic. Question:- What is the least ex­ pensive way of painting the walls of an attic which have never been painted? What can I do about the floor boards, which are warped in places? I would like to use lino­ leum. Answer: You can get good satis­ faction with a kind of paint made with casein; it comes as a paste to be thinned with water to the proper consistency. When dry and hard it is washable.Before laying linoleum, your floor ^boards should be solidly nailed down and all raised edges and rough places should be planed off. Lino­ leum will wear quickly when laid on a rough or uneven surface. For long life and good wear the surface should be as smooth as possible. Color of Doors. Question: In doing over our house we want to leave the oak trim around the windows and doors and the baseboards in natural finish. The doors are pine, and we cannot de­ cide what to do with them; whether it would be best to grain the doors to imitate oak, or to finish them in enamel. What do you advise?Answer: I certainly do not advise graining the doors in imitation of oak. The results at best would not be good, for an imitation is always cheap looking. It would be much better to enamel the doors. My choice would be ivory. A small and inexpensive touch that adds greatly to appearance is to use glass doorknobs; these can be had at hard­ ware stores. Rock Garden. Question: The yard in back of us is three or four feet higher than ours, and being on a slant, dirt is always flowing down to the sewer. I want to improve the looks of this. I have quite a number of bricks and stones, and would like to build a rock garden , against the slope, but have no idea of how to start. How do I go about it?Answer: The important thing is to pile dirt and stones against the hill to prevent further washing away of the dirt and to protect.the roots of any trees that may be nearby. Pile your bricks and stones along the foot of the hill, fill the crannies with dirt and set rock garden plants in them. Soiled House. Question: The north side of my country house is very dirty; in some places almost black. The house was painted last year. Is this due to fall and winter storms? Would it be remedied by putting a wood gut­ ter on the north side of the roof? Answer: If the soiling is from dirt, it should rscrub, off; use warm water with a cupful of trisodium phosphate or washing soda to the gallon dissolved in it. If this does not clean the paint, the soiling may mildew. If so, report the case to the maker of the paint. By all means put on gutters. Sweating Icebox. Question: I have an old-fashioned icebox, which has recently begun to sweat on the outside. Why should it do this? Answer: Sweating is due to the failure of the insulation in the icebox walls and doors. The effect is to chill the warm and damp air that comes in contact with it. Sawdust. Question:- I must insulate the kitchen ceiling of my old house from the unfinished attic overhead. Un­ able to buy special products, Can I adequately insulate with four inches of sawdust between the attic floor beams? . _ Answer: I do not recommend sawdust as insulation in a house for several reasons; it attracts and holds 1 moisture and becomes over­ run with vermin, and insects. Use rock wool, which for economy you can get.: loose in bags to he put is place by the handful. 3 A CHANGE IN THE MEAT COURSE (See Recipes Below) *‘Meat makes the meal,” especial­ ly when there are husky, hard-work­ ing men to feed. But for those be-- hind the scenes in the kitchen, think­ ing; up a different and a flavorsome meat dish for each day out pf the seven is no small task. There are two ways to approach the problem._ First, investigate some of the less- common . cuts. You’ll find them thrifty to buy be­ cause the demand for them is less. Most of them fairly abound in good flavor and need only to be properly cooked to be serious rivals to more expensive cuts. If you are buying pork, ask the meat dealer to prepare you a hand­ some rolled sirloin roast. It’s a thrifty cut not so well known as the pork loin roast but it has decided advantages. Two sections of the pork sirloin are boned and tied to­gether into a solid roll of meat. The round, compact slices offer no ob­ structions to the knife, and are the answer to a carver’s prayer. The picnic shoulder of pork is another cut of exceptional flavor. Have it boned, stuff it with spinach and roast it. If it’s too goon for another leg of lamb, buy a section of lamb breast and have it rolled with a layer of sausage. Slice off the meat as you would- a jelly-roll; you’ll have the neatest pinwheels imaginable. Lamb shoulder and lamb shoulder chops are two other not-so-well- known possibilities. The second way to coax some va­ riety into your meat dishes is to try new ways of flavoring cuts that you serve often. If much of your meat supply comes from a frozen foods locker, this is your best bet. Have pork chops cut double thick and stuff them with a tart mix­ ture of sauerkraut and apple. Your family will beam approval when you serve that combination! Or make your next ham loaf like an upside-down cake so that when you turn it out, there are rows of bright- as-a-dollar apricots across the top. Try canned gooseberries as a relish with ham or beef, or canned Dam­son plums with veal. Pork Chops Stuffed With SauerioantAnd Apple. (Serves 6) 6 loin pork chops (cut 1-inch thick) I cup sauerkraut (drained)1 cup tart, red cooking apple (diced) (unpared) Vt teaspoon salt Hteaspoonpepper 2 tablespoons fat Vt cup sauerkraut juice. Have a pocket made from the out­ side of each chop. Combine sauer­kraut with finely diced unpeeled apple and stuff the chops with the mixture. Sea­son them with salt and pepper and brown on both sides in hot fat in a heavy skillet. Add sauer­ kraut juice, cover, and finish the cooking in a moderate oven (350 degrees). Bake for IVt hours, and remove the' cover during the last 15 minutes of baking to brown the chops. Round Steak, Western Style.(Serves 6) 2 pounds round steak 2 tablespoons butter I teaspoon salt Vt teaspoon pepper 2. medium onions (sliced)Vt lemon (sliced) I No. I can . condensed tomato soup (1% cups) 1 cup water Have round steak cut % inch thick. Spread with butter and sprin­kle with salt and pepper. Arrange slices of thinly cut onion and lemon over steak. Dilute tomato soup with water and pour Over steak. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees) for 2 hours uncovered. Boneless Sirloin, Pork-Roast With Stuffed Apples. Have the meat retailer remove the tenderloin and bones from two sirloin sections, reverse the ends. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I C H O O L L e s s o n • By HAROLD Iu LUNDQUIST. D.

Season with salt and pepper and' place with the fat side up in an open roasting pan. Make an inci­ sion to the center of the roast and insert a meat thermometer so that the center of the bulb reaches the center of the fleshiest -part of the meat. Place the roast in a mod­ erate oven (350 degrees) and roast until the thermometer registers 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow about 30 minutes per pound for roasting; Serve with rice-stuffed apples. Rice-Stuffed Apples. 6 medium-sized baking apples 2 tablespoons brown spgar I cup rice (cooked) I tablespoon butter Vt cup water Wash apples and cut a slice from the top of each. Remove the cores and seeds and sprinkle the cavities with brown sugar. Mix cooked rice with melted butter and stuff each apple. Arrange them in a baking pan with the water in the bottom and bake for 1% hours, or until ten­ der in a moderate oven (350 dec grees). Lamb Pinwheels. (Serves 5) Boned breast of lamb (about ZVt pounds) Vi pound bulk pork sausage 2 tablespoons fat I teaspoon salt Vt teaspoon pepper I small onion (sliced) 1 cup tomatoes (canned) 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Have the lamb breast boned, spread with bulk pork sausage, rolled, and tied or skewered into shape at the mar­ ket. . Wipe the meat with a damp cloth and dry. v. j \ / Thenbrownonall sides in hot fat. ' v Pour off the fat- in the pan, leaving 2 tablespoons only. Season the roll'with salt and pepper.- Add sliced onion, tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Cover tightly and cook very slowly until done, about I Vt hours. Slice into pinwheels, using a very sharp knife. Cnshion Style Pork Shoulder With Spinach Stuffing. (Serves 10) Boned, picnic shoulder (about 5 pounds) 1 teaspoon salt Vt teaspoon pepper Vk cups drained spinach (cooked or canned) 2 tablespoons onion (minced) 4 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons lemon -juice 2 cups fine, soft bread crumbs I teaspoon salt Vi teaspoon pepper Have the picnic shoulder boned and sewed on two sides at the mar-, ket. This leaves one side open for inserting the stuffing. Season the surface of the pork shoulder with salt and pepper. Combine the spin­ach, onion, butter, lemon juice and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and use to fill the cavity of the roast. Sew. or skewer the edges together. Place the shoulderi fat side up, on a rack in an open* roasting pan and roast in a mod­ erate oven (350 degrees) until done. Allow about 40 minutes per pound for the roasting.

THE SLIGHTED INVITATION LESSON TEXT—Lake 14:15-24.GOLDEN TEXT—Come; for all things are now ready.—Luke 14:17. Actions fepeak louder than words. What a man says is important, but it is his life which determines wheth-' er we accept his words as'true. In spiritual things men have too often professed to follow Clurist but failed to do His will. It is .the business of the church to press home the necessity of an acceptance of Christ as Saviour which also makes Him the Lord of our life. I. Pious Words (v. 15). We do not know whether the man who said, “Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdom of God,” was expressing the sincere longing of his heart or merely making a bit of pious conversation. Jesus had just been dealing with some rather dis­ concerting matters (w . 1-14), On such occasions there is usually someone on hand to spoil the effec-, tiveness of the admonition by utter­ ing some religious platitude which will direct conversation into more comfortable channels. Even though the man was sincere, he had evidently-not made any prep­ arations to be present at that great feast. This appears from the story Jesus related in response to his words. H. Poor Excuses (w . 16-20). It is nofl enough that we know that God has prepared a place of blessedness, nor does it. suffice to speak approvingly of God’s'invita­ tion to come; we must accept. God graciously bids all men to come; but all too many, while willing to admit the- desirability of .coming and ad­ miring it as the ideal thing to do, begin to make excuses. Observe that the men gave ex­cuses, not reasons. Iiiere is a great difference. Note also that the ex­cuses were poor ones. One had a' new possession—a field—which he “must go out and see.” The second had a business matter to care for— trying out oxen he had bought. The third had a personal affection he wanted to foster—a new wife whom he could not leave. The fact is that none of them wanted to come, and these were but excuses. What man buys a field without seeing it, or oxen without trying them? And we.agree with Dr. Morgan that the one who had married a wife “was the most fool­ ish of all. Why didn’t he take her with him? Just excuses.” Reader,, what excuse is keeping you from accepting God’s invitation? III. Urgent Invitations (w . 21-24).Those who reject God’s invitation hurt only themselves, for. He will find guests to fill the banquet hall at the marriage supper of the Lamb. Let us not fail to observe that it is the duty of the Lord’s servants (and that means every born-again Christian) to be diligently about the business of urging men to respond to God’s call. Let us beware that we do not miss that point by utter­ ing some pious platitudes about soul- winning, and then failing to do any­ thing to reach others. It is the first business of every Christian who reads these lines to be engaged in personal soul-winning If you want to do it and do not know how to start, I shall be glad to send you free, a copy of "Lessons in Soul- Winning,” by Dr. Will H. Houghton. The important matter is that we get busy giving out these urgent invita­ tions. It is the first business of the un­ converted to accept that invitation. Dare you refuse? In one of bis last meetings in Kansas City, Dwight L. Moody graphically portrayed the in­ vitation referred to in our lesson. In closing his message he pointed to the wall of the auditorium and seemed to be writing out a reply to the invitation. He first wrote a note declining, the final words being, “I pray .thee have me excused." He said, “Would you-sign that, young man? Would, you, mother? Would you come up to the reporter’s table, take a pen and put your name down to such an excuse? I doubt if there is one here who would sign it It is a loving God inviting you to a feast and God is not to be mocked... Go play with the forked lightning, go trifle.with pestilence and disease, but trifle not with God.” (Released by Western Newnteper UMen.) Must Have His Spirit A young Italian boy knocked one day at the door of an artist’s studio in Rome, and when it was opened exclaimed: “Please, madam, will you give me the master’s brush?” The painter was dead, and the boy, Uiflamedi with a longing to be an artist, wished for the great master’s brush.- The lady placed the brush in- the boy’s hands, saying: “This is his brush; try it, my boy.” * With a flush of earnestness bn his face he tried, but found he could paint no better than with his own. -The lady then said to him: “You cannot'paint like the great master unless, you have his spirit.” Sb it is with, us in the Church today; if Christians have, not the Master’s spirit.they cannot successfully carry on the Master’s work.—F. M. Townley. lln c U P h il® Satf5s SaFe fa Eidopze Hbw valuable a man’s services have been is told without reserve in his obituary. He will not then think he' ought to be better re­ warded for them.

If the accomplishment be not for me, ’tis for some other. It shaU be done. The spirit-cannot Re; and man, who shall know all and who shall have wings, shall indeed be as a god.” Three years before Columbus’ discovery of America, da VincI wrote in his notebook: “If the eagle can sustain himself in the rarest atmosphere, if great ships can float across the waves, why cannot likewise man, by means of powerful wings, make himself lord of the winds and rise con­ queror of space?” The question was answered, the prophecy was fulfilled in the New World to which the ships of Tos- caneUi’s other pupil led the way.

During the year ended November 30th, 1940, the Ford HayioU throughout the United States avenged 113.628 hourly wage earners, not including office em­ ployes, students, or executives. Thqr were paid $185,105,639.12. On this basis, the average annual wage was $1,629.05. According to the. latest available govern­ ment figures, the annual average wage of all workers in employment covered by old age insurance law was $841.00. If die 45,000,000 workers of this country received the same average wage as Ford employes, they would have had additional wages of more than $35,000,000,000, thus increasing the national incom e about 50%.-Think what such an increase would . nipan to the workers of this country and to the AmprIfan farmer, whose prices are based on die national income. Wage scales in the Ford Rouge plants am divided into three classifications; Vnskitted. . . Minirnnm hiring wgge. 75 c per hour Semkskttled. . . Minimum hiring wage . 80c per hour Skilled... Minimum hiring wage. 90c pet hour H igher wages are In consideration of ability and years of service. Minimum wage scales for unskilled labor at the Rouge plant ate the highest in the industry. Top wages for skilled labor compare favorably with, or are higher Than, wages in other automobile plants. Now some facts on Ford labor conditions: N ot only ate sanitation and other health conditions the best in the industry, but Ford also leads in safety devices for the protection of employes. Proof of this is found in the followingcom­ parison of cxMnpensation insurance costs: The national average rate In automotive manufacturing plants as computed by the Nadonal Association of Underwriters is In excess of $1.50 premium on each $100 payroll. The Ford cost of workmen’s compensation is less than 50c. This indicates that die chance of injury in a Ford plant is much less than in the average automobile plant The Fotd Motor Company has no age limit for Iabot and In fact deliberately attempts to. keep older workers working. The average age of Ford workers at the Rouge and nearby plants is 38.7. A recent check-up shows that nearly one- half the workers at these Ford plants were 40 or over, falling into these age groups: 2 5 ,8 1 9 between 40 and 50 14,731 between 50 and 60 3377 between 60 and 70' 417 between 70 and 80 1 2 between 80 and 90 In addition to die so-called tegular em­ ployes, the Ford Motor Gosqpany has hired, and now has on the payroll, at'the same regular hourly wage, thousands of workers who are blind, crippled or other­ wise incapacitated for normal productive work. They are not selected for their ability to build cars or to maintain die plant. They axe on the payroll because of Henry Ford’s belief that the responsibility of a large company to labor goes be­ yond the point at which die unfortunate worker can no longer produce profitably. The above are facts. Thiqr axe open to anyone who really wants to deal in facts.

C. HiddenWavs ip By FREDERIC R VAN DE WATER CHAPTER XIII—Continued —14— Allegra’s silence bothered me. Her profile was clear and sharp as the Bead on a coin in the uneven puls- fag of lights beyond the taxi window. She said, looking straight ahead: "I lied to Agatha today. I don’t usually do that. I told her, when Grove dropped out, that I couldn’t get anyone to take me to the opera tonight. I never tried. I only said that I was disappointed and she did' what I hoped she’d do.” Once or twice in a lifetime, for­ tune offers you the thing you want most and, remembering the way she has treated you, you don’t believe it. I did not now. I thought I was reading wild meaning into her words. She turned toward me with an odd little smile and hurried on: “I’ve been lonely and frightened and I—needed you, I guess. I need­ ed to be alone with you and Te]] AlL I thought we could be—friends. And instead, you behave as though you were—well, a millionaire that a low-down gal was trying to compro­ mise.” “If I have,” I told her, “I beg your pardon, my dear. I think, though, that you’ve got the parts mixed up. You’re the millionaire. Wait a minute—” I saw she was trying to break in and I hurried on: “It galls you to have—misled your aunt. AU right. What about me? She’s lifted me out of a haUman’s uniform; she’s given me a job and her confidence. I have little integ­ rity, maybe, but I’m not a complete so-and-so. It mightn’t do you a bit of harm to consider the problems of someone else now and then.” The girl did not answer. Sre had turned her head and was looking out of the window. I did not won­der that so few persons in this world were ever nobly renunciatory. There was no pleasure in it. I said: “And now that that is aU cleared up to our mutual dissatisfaction, how about changing the subject?" “It’s not necessary,” she answered and turning as though she had de­ cided something, looked squarely at me. “We’re almost home.” “And maybe that’s just as well, too,” I answered. “Thank you, Miss Paget—for a great many things." Her laugh was like a breaking stick. Then she caught hold of her­ self. "If you don’t stop patting me on the. head,” she warned, “PU take a poke at you. WiU you answer one question for me—honestly? Just one?” I could see the marquee of the Mo- reUo, just ahead, and a group of men who lingered on the curb be­ neath the street Ught. “Will you?” AUegra asked again, and I wondered why her voice was so tense. “I promise,” I told her and be­latedly wondered if I were pledg­ ing myself to disloyalty to Coch­ rane. "Unless,” I added, “it con­ cerns someone else.” For a few min­ utes I had forgotten the murder and Lyon’s almost certain part in it. It came back to me now and made me a Uttle sick. The cab slowed down. AUegra asked in a low, clear voice: “You’re in love with me, aren’t you?” The taxi had stopped and Walters was opening the door. I might have kept sUent, but her hand clung'to mine as I helped her out. I heard myself say: “You’U never know how much.” She hurried on into the foyer whUe I paid the fare. As I turned to fol­ low, someone said: “The society bellhop, himself.” Larry Duke was of the group that gathered around me. I knew Uie faces of others and the malease within me quickened into nausea. Why were reporters hanging, like vultures, about the MoreUo again? “Any statement,” Duke asked aastUy, “on the most recent—un­ pleasantness, Count?” The foretaste of disaster was bit­ ter in my mouth. Its savor made it easier , to hold my temper. 'TU leave the issue,” I told Duke, “to the good sense of the American people.” I started away but someone else caught me by the, sleeve. “Listen, feUa,” he begged. "They’ve just found this Everett Ferriter’s body at the bottom of the area. What’s it all about?” When I could speak, I said as steadily as I might: ••You teU me. Suicide?” “Suicide, heU,” Duke said with (elish. “They caught your girl friend’s brother in the Ferriter flat, light after Everett went out the window. And they’re dusting off the kpt scat for him, right now.” CHAPTER XIV i A reporter asked another ques­ tion. The words made no Sense. As I broke away, I stepped on some­ one’s foot and he swore. I ran trio the foyer. It was not flight. Duke’s tidings had rubbed out thought of self. My purpose was to reach AUegra as quickly as I 'might. I must get be­ tween her and the blow’s full force. There was a cop in the MoreUo’s . hall once more. I wpndered if Al- Iegra had read the portent of his presence. He scowled at me and said something I did not catch. My evening clothe: .must have daunted him, Ior he ta sked un aad let me pass. Then I saw her at the end of the gloomily ornate foyer. I She waited beside the elevator shaft but the car was. Upstairs.' Wherefore, I was thankful and, at the same time, wretched. !I must teU her what had happened, here and now. She looked so small, in her bro­ caded evening wrap—slender as a flame and unconscious that the wind of fresh tragedy rose to blow her about. She heard me coming and turned.■ I saw in her smfle a trace of the last words I had blurted. She thought I was a lover, returning to complete a pledge half-spoken. That made it harder. The world had changed since I had helped her from the cab. - The elevator might appear; some­ one else might intervene, at any sec­ond. There was no time far tact. A dirty job was best done quickly. I let her have it all in one breath. “You’U have to take it, my dear. Everett Ferriter is dead and they think your brother had something to do with it.” Vaguely, aU that evening, I had wondered how much of her high color was make-up. I knew now. Her face grew white. Her Ups were gray, but they did not tremble. She took it standing and never wavered. Her eyes hurt me. She asked, “What happened?” in a level voice, and I told her what Duke and the others had told me. She said, “He didn’t do it.” ; _ I said, as cheerfully as I could: “Reporters think in headlines. It’s probably much- less serious than they say. I only wanted to ;teU you before you walked into it.” - “Where is he?” Her eyes held mine a3 though that impersonal contact kept her up. I said, “Upstairs,” and rang again for ihe elevator. After the far shriU of the bell, I heard the old ma­ chinery groan. I stumbled over many things I wished to say—yet might not, and at last managed: . j “I’ve hurt you but it seemed the only way. I’U leave you hire, but I’U wait. If you, or your aunt, want me, you can telephone the foyer.” “Please,” she whispered as the’ shaft door sUd open, “please come up with me.” She stood, stiff and sUent, on that journey upward. Toward its end, she turned as though her neck were stiff and asked: “A cigarette?" I lighted it for her and we stepped from the car. The door clanged behind us. She fumbled in her bag for her key. The first shock of the blow was wearing off. Her mouth worked and her fingers blundered. In front of the Ferriter flat; a plain­ clothes man watched us. He chewed gum and his derby rocked with each movement of his jaws. Al- legra said at last: “Please ring , the belL I don’t think,” she added with a twisted smile, “we’re likely to get anyone out of bed.” - Annie, in a rumpled wrapper, opened the door. Her eyes were red and her breath came in smaU explosions. “Where is Miss Paget?” AUegra asked crisply. “In the livin’ room,” the woman faltered and closed the door behind us. “And Mr. Paget?” the girl went on. ^nnie wept. “Yonder,” she waUed. “Them cops—” She jerked her head toward the Ferriter apartment and could say no more. I foUowed Al- legra down the haU. Miss Agatha Paget, her body fold­ ed precisely in a black silk dress­ing gown, sat in her wheel chair add smoked. The Uds of her keen eyes were unreddened by tears. Her hair was drawn back by a thin braid from the face that had the bold calm of the hawk. For an instant, as her niece ran to her and the old woman looked up for her kiss, I saw the hard features soften. The girl bent over her a long instant and then, with one hand locked in her aunt’s, turned to me. “He didn’t want to come up,” she defended. “I made him. Agatha, what is it? What’s really hap­ pened?” Miss Agatha drew on her ciga­rette and blew smoke through her beaked nose. I thought, as she looked at me, of the figurehead of a ship, worn and immune to storm. She asked dryly: “Material for another chapter in the book, David?” “No,” I said. “I had no business barging in. ' Only if there is any­thing I can do—” “Name something," Ehe broke in. I stammered: “Have you thought aI a lawyer? I mean—" . • “Long ago,” she told me. “I tMnk I got Tertius Groesbeck out of bed. If be doesn’t take too long dressing, he should , be here before Shanpon finishes with Grove, across the haU.” She ha.d Ughted another cigarette while she spoke. I saw her hand, twitch as She uttered her nephew’s name. AUegra aSked: , “Agatha, what happened!? Everett is dead and—” i, The old head jerked agreement. The old voice said without a falter: “Very dead. In the area, with a broken neck, I beUeve.” I r .n *nn v s ” .« *l'.V .*1V A »*.« *a.W. h-u. service “But why—” the girl cried, and her aunt answered the anguish in her voice without waiting for more words. “My dear, there was a struggle of some sort before he—feU. I heard it. So did everyone else whose win­dows open on the area—bumping and voices- and then a yeU and a faU.” Her thin shoulders drew together in the least. possible shudder. “Grove,” said Miss Agatha, quite calmly, “was in the Ferriter apart­ ment. They caught him coming out. You know he had a latchkey?” She looked up sharply at her niece. “Yes,” the girl admitted. Miss Agatha patted AUegra’s hand. “I wonder,” she mused aloud, “if there aren’t limits beyond which loyalty is no virtue. We both knew and yet—” The beU rang and we heard Annie shuiBe to the door. “Because,” the girl began, but her aunt took the thought away from her. . “Because Grove is such a stub­ born young devil that we were afraid if we protested it would only drive him further. We were wrong, my dear. Marriage with lone is better than the murder of her broth­ er!” “He didn’t!” Allegra exclaimed. Miss Agatha. nodded and bit through an invisible thread. “You know it,” she answered. “I know it. I don’t think Captain Shan­ non who has kept Grove”—she glanced at the clock on the‘mantel —“for almost an hour now, is so cer­tain. There is that struggle, which everyone heard, whlsh turns a sui­ cide theory rather sour.” The calm in which, they endured their wretchedness was too much for me. I said: “One might fight to prevent a suicide, as well as to commit a murder.” Miss Agatha looked at me hard. “Every .now and then, David," she told , me, “I admire your mind. It is-so much like mine. Obviously, that’s what happened. I doubt whether the police will accept Out explanation.” Captain Shannon entered. At once, Miss Agatha and her niece drew down, overtheir emotion, tbe opaque shades , of utter calm. Shannon ducked his head toward them ' and looked hard at me. Inwardly, he fumed. Anger or bewilderment had reddened his face and blurred its freckles. . Outwardly he was calm and his voice was regretfui "Miss Paget,” said he, “I’m sor­ ry, but we’ll have to take him in.” I heard Allegra catch her breath. Miss Agatha’s face did not stir. She asked: “Then he, my nephew, has im­plicated himself?” Shannon’s exasperation got away from him. He rumpled his reddish- gray hair. “We’ll have to take-him in,” he. repeated, “for obstructing justice, if nothing else;.: Implicated himself! The facts implicate hinv Miss Pag­ et. We can get nothing put of him. He’ll -not say a word, beyond, that he tried to stop this Ferriter from jumping.” ^ . Tiny lines about -Miss Agatha’s eyes deepened with satisfaction. “My own: explanation,” she said; -Shannon shook'his head like: a worrying terrier. “Unfortunately,” he told ber, “that’s not all of it. Why was he in , that flat? He won’t say. How came he to have a latchkey? He won’t,, say. Why, having one, didn’t he admit it'when' the first murder was committed? Same answer. Where was he the afternoon this Black­ board was stabbed? He was walking uptown.” ' His-grunt was thick with disgust; I Stuck my oar in. “Mr. Paget came in a foil hour after that killing. I saw him.” They all looked at me. There was no friendliness in Shannon’s regard. “Sure,” he snorted. “Didn’t ev­ erybody? Nobody could have killed Blackbeard, but ,his corpse is still in the morgue, isn’t it? I’m thinking this second murder—or whatever— is going to solve the first.” Anger pushed him beyond discre­ tion. . He fished in his pocket and- drew forth a folded sheet of. type­ writer paper.' . “Among the - things ..that youi. nephew won’t tell," he said to Miss Agatha, , “is why he wrote this note we found in his pocket.” ' . I could have choked him for the pleased voice - in which he: read aloud: •• 'My dear: I have-failed as usual and can stand no more.' When an­ other . death may settle everything, .

Or is this the season that you catch up on odds and ends of sewing for the house? Li either case you will like to stitch up a. bag like this one. Everyone seems to have a special use for one of these bags on a hanger. I have one that I use for laundry when I go traveling. Men and boys like them for closet laundry bags too, as they are plenty big enough for shirts. A little girl I know has a small version of one of these in which she keeps doll clothes scraps. I have also, seen them used for everything from- dress patterns to dust rags. This green and white ivy pat­terned chintz with green facing makes a good looking bag.

Carryiog Oo. Get Oot Of Liquor Busi- One can hardly help comparing the situation inride the ranks of the Republican party today with the condition of affairs immediately following the 1936 election. Then there was political despondency on every side within the G. O. P. It was freely declared everywhere that the Republican party was finished as a political organization and that a new political party would have to be organized with the Republi can machine as a nucleus. Now things are entirely diflerent. The Republicans have accepted de­ feat at the polls with something a- kin to repressed cheerfulness. There is no “new party” talk, no evidence of a desire on the part of the ele phantto lie down. Already the leaders are looking forward to the congressional elections of 1942. They seem to feel that the New Deal has about run its course in spite of its victory on November 5 . Republican groups and Willkie in­ dependent organizations on all sides are pointing toward the future, not contenting themselves with discuss­ ing the battle which is over. The speech of Mr. Willkie, following the election was received every­ where with acclaim and the an­ nouncement of Senator Burke, of Nebraska, that he .was deserting his old party affiliations and joining the Republican ranks was hailed as a symptom of future developments. As a case in point one may refer to the action of a group of Repub­ lican women in Illinois. Four hun­ dred of them, from all parts of the state, met recently at Springfield and decided that their future course is to be one of work and not pleas­ ure. They expressed satisfaction with the gains the Republicans had made In Illinois in 1940, but an­ nounced they were not going to sit back and relax but carry on from this point. As one woman put it: “ But what are we women going to do now for America? We are going to build our party. We are going to build reafly for the next campaign. It is not incumbent for any American to remain silent when he can offer constructive criticism.” The meeting of these representa­ tive Illinois Republican women and tbeir resolve to carry on is only a symptom of the general feeling a- mong Republicans everywhere if newspaper reports are telling the truth. Everyone, Democrat, New Deal er and Republican alike, admits tbat there are stormy times ahead. And the Republicans apparently be­ lieve that in the final analysis it will be up to them to solve the cri, sis.—Union Republican, Jost Wants To Know. A South Carolina friend inquires: ‘‘Why do you folks keep on lambast­ ing the New Deal when you know that it is here to stay?”- Now, neigh, bor. we are keeping nn the fight for the same reason that your minister keeps on preaching against sin. As for the New Deal being “here to stay.” we do not know so much a- bout that. Mr. Roosevelt is the daddy of the New Deal and when he. passes off the stage, the children will scatter like feathers in a whirlwind. He is the only living man who conld have won over Willkie this year. As we read the stars, when FDR steps out. Willkie or some other Repub­ lican will step in.

The government should get out of the liquor business that Frank­ lin Roosevelt put it in when he as sumed that we might “drink our way back to prosperty,” now that we are assembling thousands of young men into the various camps of the cooDtry to train them for military duties. Rum and army should not go hand in hand. We were interested a few days a go to read a statement from Wash­ ington that Secretary of War Stim- will appoint a powerful “ Commu nity Service Committee,” to im­ prove conditions in neighborhoods where army camps are located as a move to “protect the welfare and morals of America’s soldiers.” The functions of this new group, as outlined by Secretary Stimson, will be four.fold—to improve health and sanitation of towns; to co-oper­ ate with local law enforcement a- gencies to control undesirable per. sons and places; to trv to encour­ age a proper social life , for the soldier in the community, and to protect the soldier in the commu­ nity, and to- protect soldiers and officers from being exploited by such things as increased rentals and other prices. Then the secretary went on to tell about bad conditions found in towns located near Camp Benning, Geor­ gia, saying “ all rents in the nearest town bad gone up three folds and the conditions in one of these towns as regards moralicharacter was even worse.” Wby should liquor joints and gambling joints and houses of ill tame spring up around army camps? Whyshould American soldiers- be subjected tosncb temptations? Why should such influence be thrown a- bont our young men juri going into military life and the best the se­ cretary of war can think of is the appointment of- a “committee” to keep rents from going up. An editorial In Charity and Chil­ dren last week also attracted our at tention. Editor Jno. Arch McMil­ lan wrote the following: “ When he Was the first nominated for the pre. sidency, PresldentRooseveltdidnot say ‘To hell with prohibition,’ but be did promise to open up the flood­ gates and let liquor flow. He has kept his promise. The boys who are sent to the army camps can buy all of the government liquor they need to influence them. The army officials are begging local communi­ ties to co-operate with them in pro­ moting clean moral conditions a- round the camps. The army offi­ cials will have a hard job while the government sells liquor to th e boys.” We know nothing about condi tions in and around Fort Benning in Georgia, out with two liquor stptes running full blast in Fayet- teviile with the government’s sanc­ tion- and with the government tak­ ing its percentage o f the money coming from the young mhn it has planted at Fort Bragg to train for soldiers, it does seem high time to do something more than appoint a committee. Let the government go out- of business once and for all. Let it clase up its saloons (or. ABC stores as they are called) now centering a- bout the army camns. Let it give these young men wholesome atmos. phere in which to train and. put themselves' Into the proper condi. tion for any service they may be called upon to render.

Washington. —Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, said that if Congress approved the. adminlstra tion’s bill empowering President Roosevelt to send vast quantities of war supplies to the democracies" it would mean “open and complete warefare” for the United States. Discussing the legislation on the American Air, Wheeler added that the form of the bill definitely stamps the President as warmind- ed.” 1 Senator Lee, Democrat, Oklaho­ ma, speaking in support of the measure, said “ Hitler is at war with America today. ' He is making war on us economially, politically and morallv. Only one obstacle prevents him from making war on us in a military sense and that is England. Suppose war aid does take our wealth. That' is not as precarious as the blood of o u r boys ’’ In the senate opponents were talk­ ing of lengthy bearings by the for- eign relations committee .and at least three weeks of debate in the chamber itself. Committee Chair­ man George, Democrat, Georgia, said there must be some limit on committee hearings, to begin Wed nesday or discussion would “take all session.” Wheeler called the bill “the new dead’s “triple A’- foreign policy— plow under every fourth American boy.” “Never before,” he said, “has the United States given to one man the power to strip the nation of its fensein time of peace or war. Never before has the Congress coldly and flatly been asked to. abdicate. “ If the American people want a dictatorship—if they want a total! taran form of government and if they want war—this bill should be steamrolled through Congress—as is the wont of President Roose- vent.” Observing that the President had said Britain would repay, Wheeler said the repayments were likely to come in cries of “Uncle Shylock.’1 “ Our boys will be returned—re turned in caskets, m aybe***” he declared. “ It is possible tbat the Ameri­ can people are so gullible that they will bermit tbeir representatives in Congress to sit supinely by .while an American President demands totalitarian powers—in the name of saving democracy?” Wheeler ask. ed, adding: 1 “ I say in the kind of language used by the President—shame on those who ask the power—and shame on those who - would grant them.” Wheeler said that the British had $7 ,0 0 0,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 in credit and collat­ eral in the United States which could be' used to pay for planes, tanks, guns and other supplies.

Representative Hoffman (R), of Mich., commented that he could “ go along with the President some­ times—if I could believe him, but when his acts are so far from his words, I just can’t follow him."

D,.P. CAMPBELL, Sec, An interesting result of lespedeza is reported by S. W. Furches, R. 2, Mocksville, who harvested 5 ,3 0 0 pounds of Korean lespedeza seed from a 7 -acre field. We consider this an excellent yield of seed. Mr. Fuicbes says it is by far, the best lespedeza that ever grew on his farm. He attributes the excellent growth and the large yield of seed to the limestone, which-he applied at the rate of one ton per acre in the fall of 1938.

N.U. SCI*VtCO CHAPTER XIV—CimUinied —15— “May I point out,” Miss Agatha asked politely, “that Everett Ferri- Ier also had access to that machine —and a latchkey to this flat?” Shannon did not seem to hear her. He said: “I’ll be taking that typewriter Along, too, Miss Paget. We’ve found your nephew’s fingerprints on the keys and space bar. He it was who used it last. I’m sorry but—we’re taking him in, for further question­ ing.” Still holding her aunt’s hand, Al- legra felt with the other for a chair and sat down. Miss Agatha moved ever so little. Her head lifted. A quiet, more impressive than bluster, was in her voice. i “Just one thing, Captain Shannon. I’m the oldest living member of the Paget family. It has influence in New York.” Beneath his breath, the policeman mumbled something. Miss Agatha went on: “That is not a threat, though you may think so. You’re wholly with­ in your rights in arresting Grove, but”—the fine old head, the pre­ cise voice went a shade higher— “but if you maltreat my nephew, if you step over any single one of his legal rights, if you or any of your tribe lay a finger on him while you’re ‘questioning,’ I shall see to it that more than a finger falls on you, sir. “i’ve lived,” Miss Agatha ended, "more years in New. York than I care to confess. If you misuse your authority, I shall misuse my influ­ence. And never,” she added, with an oddly mirthful puckering of her. eye wrinkles, “think I haven’t got it.” The bell rang as she ceased, as though her words had smitten some invisible bull’s-eye. Shannon’s face softened a trifle. He looked at her with respect and an unwilling trace of amusement. “Miss Paget,” he began, “you’re a—” ___ I think he intended to compliment her but he was interrupted. A rud­ dy-faced, elderly gentleman, slight­ ly out of breath and more than a little ruffled, entered. He put on black-corded glasses to glare at Shannon and me and then beamed through them at Miss Agatha. The old lady gave a slow smile of tri­ umph, “Tertius,” she said, as though he were a late comer to a reception, "this is very good of .you. Captain Shannon, this is Senator Groesbeck, my attorney. I think I can leave Grove safely in your joint care.” I acknowledged introduction to the Senator who seemed to regard ev­ eryone but Miss Agatba with the justifiable suspicion of a corporation counsel who had been hauled out of bed- into a murder case. Then I said: “I’ll be going now, Miss Paget. Good night.” “Thank you, David,” she said and looked at me hard. I ducked my head toward Alleg- ra, barely meeting her eyes. I think she started to follow me to the door, but her aunt, whose hand she still held, stayed her. As I departed, Miss Agatha called after m e:' “Nine o’clock tomorrow, David. Or rather, today.” She was not one whose purposes were lightly thwarted. CHAPTER XV Shannon and his prisoner had drawn the reporters away from the Morello. An empty taxi stood at the curb. I recall Uttle of my ride home. I knew, as I got out of the cab, that I was out on my feet. I would not have thought of COchrane and of what the new tragedy meant to him, and me, if I had not seen the telephone in Mrs. Shaw’s hall. I hesitated and then called the Press. I got Jerry. I could not match his elation. He had reached the Mo­ rello just after I had entered. Duke, he confided, had been angry at my reticence. Cochrane now was wait­ ing word from the Press man at headquarters, whither Grove had been taken. I told him briefly what I knew, withholding only my fore­ knowledge, that Grove had had a key to the Ferriter flat, nor did I cite that apparently disembodied voice I had heard at Mino’s. I was too weary to be discreet otherwise. The ache -in thy bones had crept into my mind and! clogged my tongue. When I had finished, I heard Coch­ rane’s chuckle. “We’U hang it on the town again, Dave. I’U meet you at noon tomor­ row in that beanery near the Morel­ lo. I have tidings to impart, my lad. They’U interest you.” I wondered, as I pulled myself upstairs, whether anything ever could interest me again. I dept so soddenly that when I woke, I had aU the symptoms of a hang-over ex­cept the memory of revelry. ' Coffee eased my head and food baUasted my uneasy stomach. I read, as I ate, Cochrane’s deft story In the Press.' I wished that he had been a shade less authoritative con­cerning what had taken place in the Paget aiurtment, but It; was a well-handled yarn, scrupulously fair as far as ytning Paget was con­ cerned. He was stiU held as a ma­ terial witness. Wluch meant, I knew, that, so far, Ae had not talked. I felt better when I reached the MoreUo and entered under the wist­ ful eyes of a half-dozen evening newspaper men, none of whom I knew, but I found when Eddie Hoyt spoke to me that my nerves were raw and my temper hair-trigger. “Lissen, Dave,” he begged, as he went with me to the elevator, “you don’t think this young Paget reaUy done it?”“No,” I snapped. “Do you?” He blinked at my violence. “No offense,” he said earnestly. “Only, Dave, if there’s anything I can do for that old lady, I’d do it if I went to jail for it. See? She’s been real good to me. Remember that, wiUya? There’s something pho­ ny about this huU thing. I can feel it, Dave.” “You’re telling me?” I asked as he let me off. Eddie nodded toward the Paget door. “This here Ferriter, the one that’s left,” he whispered,- “is in there now. He come about a half-hour ago. Fineman teUs me his sister took on when they blew in and heard what had happened — kinda historical. They didn’t stay here last night.” “Now that's funny, isn’t it?" I jeered and pressed the Paget bell. “Not to me it ain’t,” said Hoyt, ducking back into the car. Annie let me in and motioned me into the workroom. Miss Paget, the maid said, was busy, but she’d see me in a few minutes. I sat down I "That is not a threat, though yon may think so.” and stared at the four dim circles on the desk top where the typewriter had stood. I thought of Lyon and of the voice I had heard—unless I were screwy —issuing from the booth at Mino’s last night. Could it have been only last night? Was it reaUy yesterday afternoon that Lyon and I had fenced? I found myself sitting straighter. That broken epee point had not been accident. The plan had been to kiU me while Everett searched my room and removed damaging evidence. What evidence? I groaned and heard Lyon Ferriter come along-the hall. He was a shade more gaunt but his smile was cordial and his easy drawling manner fitted him like a long used glove. Once more, his voice and appearance overthrew my suspicion so violently that I found-myself offended by his poise. “Good morning,” he said.' “I didn’t expect to see you here.” “Or I you,” I answered. He frowned and, shrugged his wide, stooped shoulders. “No,” he agreed, lowering his voice, “I made an error in coming. I don’t think there’s anything in the etiquette book to fit just this situation. People can hardly be normal in such circum­ stances. I’ve taken enough on the chin in my time to fortify me a bit, but lone”—his voice softened as he spoke of her—“is all apart again.” “I can understand that,” I told him. He nodded. “Of course- you do.” He paused and I felt his further words were a belated retort to Miss Agatha Pag­ et. “After all, we are the—bereaved. Poor old Everett. I can’t imagine why Grove—” He overplayed his hand. For the first time, I thought I caught the faint sound of duplicity in his speech. His martyred air irked me. I felt my brain light up and was canny enough to wait an instant, curbing myself, before I said: “I can’t imagine that Grove did it." Lyon looked at me quite carefully and then shrugged again. “Fortunately,” he said, “this time my alibi is endorsed.' I only know what the police, and witnesses, say.” “Sure,” I answered, "and I don’t suppose you can imagine how Grove got a key to your flat?” If that reached him, he did not show it.' He seemed to be thinking of something that his long brown face quite hid, before he said: “That is not true. I came here this morning to tell Miss Paget that I would make affidavit that I gave Grove that key.” “Which,” I told him, "comes un­ der the head of chivalrous perjury.” It was good to throw pretense aside at last and speak my thought. “Miss Ferriter,” I went on, "gave—” He lifted a hand so sharply that I stopped. "My sister,” he said, and I felt now that he was wholly candid, "is to be kept out of this tragedy if I have to go further than—chivalrous perjury. She has suffered more than enough, already.” His emphasis threw me out of my stride for an instant. “All right,” I told him. "You gave Grove a key. Let it go at that. I hope when he opens up he tells the same story. You gave him the key. How does that explain his presence in your flat last night at the time of your brother’s— suicide?” He smiled at the stress I laid on the last word and that made me an­ grier. “It doesn’t,” he said. “No one knows why he was there—except, possibly, poor old Everett." “Your sister knows,” -I said, tin­ gling. tfMaybe you do, too.” “Are you,” he drawled, “trying to be offensive?” “It’s no effort,” I assured him.. “Everett committed suicide. No doubt he had his reasons. He left the note they found on Grove. No doubt you know what it means. Grove is that way about your sister. That’s why he had a key. He’s in this jam on her account while you—” A voice behind Lyon cut through my angry speech and checked it. “Would you mind,” it asked, "stepping a little aside, Mr. Ferri­ter? I thought you had gone.” He obeyed. Miss Agatha sat be­ hind him in her wheel chair. Her bleak face daunted Lyon who was as nearly ill at ease as I had ever seen him.“Yes,” he stammered, "I should have gone—some time ago,” and without further glance at me, hur­ ried down the hall. The door Slammed. The old lady turned her head and looked at me and again I marveled at the resilience of her crippled body. Not even the plight of her beloved nephew had dulled her eyes,-- or shaken her voice. I was still too angry to read omen in her regard. - “I gather,” she said, “Mr.- Ferri- ter has been telling you he gave Grove that latchkey.” . “I can gather,” I snarled, "that he’s willing to crucify a silly kid for the sake of lane's good name— if any.” My violence seemed to soothe her. Her face softened a little. She said dryly:“I’m glad you’re so strenuous, David. Something has happened that AHegra and I want to ask you about.” I was so dumb that her words heartened me. I thought that they were going to ask for counsel and I forgot my recent wrath. Perhaps that sacrificial yearning I had felt in Allegra’s presence wasn’t so idi­ otic after aU. I might yet serve her. “I’m grateful to you both,” I told Miss Agatha. Again, she gave me that puzzled stare. I thought she was going to ask a question but she turned her head instead and called: "Allegra.” I heard the girl come down- the hall. Something made me faintly uneasy. I forgot my qualm when she entered the room. I got up. Worry had hardened her. Her face was white. Her eyes endured mine so indifferently that I wondered if this could be the girl I had kissed a few-hours ago. She was immune to my smile; she was deaf to my greeting. She looked from me to her aunt, who gave a prompting nod. In Allegra’s clenched hand, a paper crackled.- Her Voice had the same impersonal sound as she asked, looking straight at me again: “Do you know a man named Law­rence Duke?” I could feel it coming. I knew now that it wasn't just anxiety for her brother that had bleached and -hardened her. There was sweat in my palms and my voice' sounded hoarse to me as I said: "Yes.” Allegra gave her head a quick lit­ tle jerk and unfolded the paper she held. “I don’t,” she told me with quiet scorn, “but he writes on the letter­ head of the Sphere: ‘Dear Madam: Perhaps you.are unaware that your escort of tonight is a reporter on the Press in disguise.’ ” Miss Agatha asked:. “Is that true, David?” “As far as it goes,” I told her and there was a sudden dullness in the clever old eyes. I had no time to explain for Allegra said and her voice cut: “You have been stealing my aunt’s generosity and my—friend­ ship.” “No,” I said. “You are a reporter for the Press?” “Only on probation,” I said. In her voice I heard the anger id trust betrayed. It angered me. I wheeled about and picked up my bat and coat. -The girl said: "A stool pigeon.” That stung. ' I ignored her pun, posely and turned to Miss' Agatha, who had not stirred. (TO BE CONTINUED*. t FIRST-AID + I o f h e AILING HOUSE | i By ROGER B» WHITMAN J ” (® Roger, B. Whitman- WWU Service.) Cooling a House in Summer. WINDOWS on the sunny side ot the house should be protected against the heat of the sun. Awn­ ings do not always help, for some kinds confine heated air against the 1 windows. Air under an awning will be' heated and should be permitted to escape before the heat can pass through to the room. Outside Vene­ tian blinds are an advantage over canvas-awnings in this regard, for while they cut off the direct heat of the sun, they permit the free escape of air from underneath. For ventilation in a room, win­dows should'be opened both at the top and at the bottom. Heated air under the ceiling of a room can then pass out through the upper part of the window opening and will be re­placed by outdoor air drawn in through the lower part. Neither .opening should be covered by cur­ tains or shades, for these impede the flow of air.Still an is more stifling and is more difficult to stand than air at the same temperature that is in mo-, tion. For comfort, air should be in circulation. An electric fan arranged to blow out through the open upper part of a window will draw in outdoor air through the lower part. The circula­ tion that is thus established will add greatly to comfort. Slippery Floors. Question: We have an old farm­ house with oak flooring. When we wax it, the floor is too slippery, as we use hooked rugs. Can you tell us how to treat it, so that it will not be too oily or slippery? Answer: Too many coats of wax and heavy applications of wax most frequently cause extreme slipperi­ ness. Wax should be applied in thin coats, each coat being very well pol­ ished. Waxing of floors two or three times a year should be sufficient. Frequent rubbings with a soft cloth will keep the floors well polished. Excessive wax can be removed by wiping with turpentine. As a pre­ caution against slipping of rugs, you can get a powder to be sprinkled on the backs of rugs. This is sold iq department stores. Whitewashed Stohe. Question: -The old cellar stone walls in our house have been white­ washed. We should like to cement the cellar walls, but are told that the cement will not stick to the whitewashed-walls. Is this true? What can be done to remove the whitewash? Answer: Whitewash is apt to peel taking the cement off with it. Re­ move the whitewash by scrubbing with a strong solution of household ammonia and water. Rinse the sur­ face with clear water. For good results, be sure the surface of the stone is well-roughened before put­ ting on the new cement. Raking out the mortar points will give the new cement a better bond on the wall. Book Bindings. Question: What can be done to preserve book bindings of leather and cloth? The books are about 50 years old, and suffer from the ef­ fects of time, drying and disintegra­ tion rather than wear and tear. Answer: For the leather bindings you can get preservatives especially- made for the job. Any public li­ brary will tell you of them. This can also be used on leather backs and comers of cloth bindings. Cloth bindings can usually be cleaned by wiping with a cloth dampened with soapy water, after going over them with a stiff brush. Some bindings will not stand moisture; you should make a test on each one before go­ ing ahead. Painting a Metal Bed. Question: We have a metal bed, mahogany color, from which the paint has become rubbed off in vari­ous parts, and I would appreciate it if you would advise me what kind of paint to use to repaint it. It has a foie grain running through it.Answer: Any good brand of quick drying enamel can be used; but the wood graining, if desired, will have to be done by a professional. Be­ fore applying the enamel make sure the surfaces are free of any grease or dust. The old finish is made dull by rubbing lightly with fine sand­ paper. Destivering a Mirror. Question: How can I remove the silvering from a mirror? The mir­ ror is to be resilvered. Answer: Remove the protective coating with a paint remover. The mirror is then placed horizontally, covered with a layer of salt and moistened , with a mixture of I part water and 3 parts cider vinegar. After several hours, the silvering can usually-be wiped off .clean. The shop doing the resilvering can re­ move the old silvering for very little extra cost. Whitewash for Bricks. Question: Please tell me how to whitewash my brick house. I want to be sure to use something that -will not peel or flake off in any way. !. understand the government uses some special mixture on light­ houses, and am- wondering if you could give me the formula. Answer: The government white­ wash formula is rather messy and complicated to make up. A cement composition paint or outside casein paint will make a more satisfactory finish for the brick wall, and will be -viUch easier to apply. Sores That Do NotHealWiH BearWatching By DR. JAMES W- BARTON AFEW years ago I cam e across, three cases, two men and one woman, with a sore on the lower lip that failed to heal under the usual treatment. Fortunately I read an-article in one of the m edical journals stating that these "persistent” sores were often due to the rays of the sun. By having the woman wear a wide-brimmed hat and use heavy rouge on the lower lip, the sore healed rapidly. With the two men, keeping out of the sun’s rays cleared up the sore in a few days. I am mentioning these cases be-' cause there may be some who quite naturally wor­ ry over a sore on the lip that does not : heal rapidly because a persistent sore on the lip in the middle- aged is often cancer. The history of can­ cer of the lip is the appearance of an ul­ cer which is thought to be a cold sore and is ■ .sometimes cov­ered with a scab. "More commonly there Is a tumor or lump in the lower lip with a tendency to have a raw or bleeding surface. The sore and lump increase in size and never heal of themselves.” Dr. H. B. Hunt, Omaha, in the Nebraska State Medical Journal states that any persistent “sore.” “fever'blister,” “crack,” or "lump” on the lower lip which does not heal in three weeks must be considered cancer until an examination of a small piece of the growth under the microscope proves that it is not can­ cer. Sunburn should be avoided, as shown by the large number of cases of cancer of the face found in the farming population. Aside from sun­burn, other cases of cancer of the lower lip are due to repeated bums from short cigarettes, short­ stemmed pipes, hot foods, overhang­ ing, irregular or very sharp upper teeth, and frequently chapping or cracking by wind or sun. Dr. Hunt states that the use of radium or X-rays, correctly admin­ istered by an expert, are as ef­ fective as surgery in the early treat­ ment of cancer, of lip and leave a better appearance. Remember the advice. A sore oh the lower lip that does not heal in three weeks should be suspected of. being cancer. Goiter Yielding To Surgical Skill Dr. Barton TT IS but a short time, ago since T patients with the severe type of goiter had to travel hundreds of miles to undergo operation by some famous surgeon. Even under this skilled surgeon, the chances of com­ ing through the operation safely were only even, the death rate being as high as 50 per cent. This high death rate was due in many cases to waiting too long before under­ going operation. Today, physicians do not wait so long before advising operation. When the death rate from opera­tion reached as low as 5 per cent, that is only one in 20 died, it was believed that the very height of sur­ gical skill had been reached. It is interesting to read in Hygeia, how­ ever, how improvements in operat­ ing skill have reduced, even further the death rate in goiter operations. Goiter Death Rate. In the Lahey clinic, Boston, the death rate from operation on goi­ ter, where the thyroid gland reached below the neck line into the chest, was 4.4 per cent before July, 1933, whereas today it is only 1.7. This deep-seated form of goiter is more difficult to reach than when the goiter lies up in its usual place in the front part of the neck. It lies low in the neck and grows down behind the breast bone so that it is actually in the chest. It can readily be seen how an enlarged thyroid gland lying in front of the tube carrying air to the lungs could press on this tube and interfere with breathing. The lesson here is that surgical skill has continued to improve as shown by the above figures in tiffs hazardous operation. Remember, early goiter can be treated successfully by rest and medicine, and certain cases by X-rays. QUESTION BOX Q.—'What are the various causes of falling hair? Suggest a remedy, please. A.-—There are many causes of early loss of hair. Here are a few of the principal.causes: (a) family ten­ dency (b) following a fever or sick­ ness (c) anaemia (d) syphilis. Un­ less there is a family tendency to early loss of hair, hair returns un­ der treatment. Consult your physi­ cian who may make some tests.

THE DAVlE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. JANUARY 22, 1941. THp' DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD • • Editor. TELEPHONE Entered at the Poatoffice in Mocks­ ville, N. C./ as Second-daw Mall matter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: OME YEAR. IN ADVANCE -"*100 SIX MONTHS. FN ADVANCE - $ SO President Roosevelt was inaugu* rated Presirent for a third terin Monday, tbe first time such a thing has ever happened. When it comes to producing bumper wheat, cotton, corn and to­ bacco crops, the Davie farmers rank along with just about any other couDtj in Piedmont Carolina. Oar soil and climate cannot be excelled, and we hare some master farmers in Davie. It has been said by some com­ mentators that had Mr. Roosevelt made the same speeches before the election that he has made since the votes were counted, that he would have been defeatad by a good ma. jority Well, we can’t say as to that. It seems that Bphriam is still joined to bis idols, and that it is hard to get anyone to kill Santa Clans. Mrs. Roosevelt didn’t like it be­ cause the Republican members of Congress didn’t cheer and clap their hauds while President Roosevelt was delivering bts message to Con­ gress last week. Who ever heard of a Democratic Congressman cheer­ ing when a Republican president made a speech. Madam Roosevelt has been living in the White House for eight years bnt she still has a lot to learn. There are many good people in this country and maay that are not so good. Talking about mean men, but one of the meanest, sorrest fel­ lows in tbe world is the one who will subscribe for a newspaper on a credit, read it for a year or two, and then either refuse to take the paper out oI the mail box or write the editor and tell him to stop tbe paper, that be didn’t subscribe for it Yes, we know a few snch fel­ lows. Some of these days we may tell our readers who they are. Some of the prominent men of tbe country are predicting that this ctmntrv will be in war with the axis powers within the next three to six months. Seetns to this scribe that we have been in the war for the past year or more. Uptothishonr we haven’t sent any boys to Europe, and w» prav that none will have to go. Thefact remains that some, bodv has to give Germany, Ita'y and Japan a sound flogging. Whether Great Britain, Greece and Turkey can do this without some outside help Is problematical. It seems that Congress is getting ready to take some action about just bow long a man shall bold the Presidency. Some lawmakers are in favor of one six year term only, wbile others favor not more than two four year terms. Six years is too long tor some men to hold this important office. Seems to us that one term of four years would be a good law. North Carolina elects a governor for four years and when his term expires he gets out re­ gardless of bow good or how bad a governor he has made. No one ever thought until a few years ago, that any man would ever crave the high office of president enough to offer himself for a third term. Such a thing has never happened but once since this government was es­ tablished, and we don’t thiuk it will ever happen again. We hope not. Members Of Secood Draft Quota.

PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) "\JEW YORK.—Judging from past ’ performances, any spot where Baron Manfred Von Kfllinger is op­ erating is a good place to* watch , n for a sandedFeinting at Russ deck a pail And Swinging at of trained dice Everybody Else an<* a buried ace. Sucb have been the diplomatic parapher­ nalia of the eminent Nazi statesman who, it is now reported in Europe, will be the new gauleiter, or Hitler straw-boss in Rumania. Lately, for­ eign correspondence has converged on the idea that Herr Goebbels is faking a possible run-in with Rus­ sia and letting word .leak out in the Balkans that the Nazis are sending troops to menace Russia, while in reality, he is dealing under the ta­ ble with Stalin, as usual. That would be a grand way to dampen American war ardor—this country getting into the war on the side of red Russia. Anything as elaborate and devious as this would be right on Baron Von Killinger’s target. With his genius for duplicity and complicated. intrigue he would be a marvelous advance agent for just such a grand razzle-dazzle as that. When Baron Von KilIinger was German consul-general at San Francisco, from August, 1937, to January, 1939, Rep. Samuel Dickstein denounced him on the floor of congress as a “Nazi adventurer.” On No­ vember 6, 1937, the Americani­ zation committee of the* Ameri­ can Legion demanded his sum­mary rejection from this coun­ try as a spy delivering secrets of the American fleet to his gov­ernment. He stayed on the job until the Nazis saw fit to recall him, as the war loomed, for more immediately urgent in­ trigue over there. He spent nine months in jail, in 1922, on charges of. complicity in the murder of the conciliatory Ma­ thias Erzberger. Bullets like those used by the murderers, Schulz and Tillesen, had been found in his pos session. He was acquitted and moved through the turbulent years of the Nazi ascendency to a spot at the right hand of Der Fuehrer. His gift for intrigue was such at some times he ran the ball the wrong way, and during the blood purge of 1934, Hitler put him in a concen­ tration camp and fired him as. pre­ mier of Saxony. However, they could find no sub­ stitute for his legerdemain and let him out to pick up his old line of mystagogy. ♦---- IN 1933, a young man from Potts- ville, planting his typewriter on his bed in a New York hall bed­ room, rounded out 25,000 words of a When the Utterly ^ in g 6 "lie Improbable Does was down to Happen, IFs News his last three dollars. He sent unfinished manuscripts to three publishers, with a take-it-or-leave-it, first-come-first-served letter, telling them he would finish the book under a contract which would allow him to live decently while he was work­ ing. The next day came three ac-, ceptances. Harcourt, Brace was first in line and got the book, “Ap­ pointment in Samarra.” The author got $50 a week for the three months and delivered the finished book with­ in four days of the dead-line. Such was the literary get-way of Young John O’Hara, author , of the current hit musical show in New York city, “Pal Joey,” the same being one of the most poisonous portraits of a “heel” ever etched with the steel-point of contempt. The book clicked and in the years between there was the routine stretch at Holly­ wood, and a series of magazine stories from which the unlovely portrait of “Pal Joey” gradual­ ly emerged. "Pal Joey” isn’t a show to which you would want to take your Aimt Tabitha, but there is a moral in the story of how young John O’Hara began to rise and shine. IVhen he decided to become an author, he swore off liquor, cut smoking down to a minimum, went on a diet and worked a punishing shift, seven days a week. He is tall, person­ able and gathers his garlands and his royalties at the age of 35. • — TF HE can’t buck a blizzard of an avalanche, a Grade A war would do nicely for big, bucko William F.

Kennedy, until recently our ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, was associated in the financial management of Paramount, he wasrather skep­ tical about the valuation that Hollywood places upon its stars. In fact, he remarked that prac­ tically anybody able to “make faces” was a potential movie actor. Now Paramount is screening “One Night in Lisbon,” with Fred Mac- Murray and Madeleine Carroll co- starred. It’s a story of the current European war, with the opening se­quences laid in beleaguered Lon­ don. There is a role that fits Mr. Kennedy perfectly. Producer-direc- tor Edwmd H. Griffith offered the HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS JOSEPH P. KENNEDY role to our friend Kennedy, who dared to accept this chance to try his own ability to make faces. Incidentally, Madeleine Carroll tried her best to get out of .making “One Night in Lisbon.” Her 19-year- old sister was killed not long ago, you’ll remember, during a bombing raid in London. Just being home from the hos­ pital is a vacation that Mrs. Eddie Bracken is still on. She and her hus­ band started off in their car for a vacation trip East, as soon as he finished his work in “Reaching for the Sun.” They were hardly well on their way when they were in a spectacular automobile accident, in which she was seriously injured. There’s no telling where this cus­ tom of playing oneself on the screen will end. Jack Benny and Fred Allen take a whirl at it in “Love Thy Neighbor” ; Oscar Levant, of radio’s ’(Information Please,” was obviously Oscar himself in “Rhythm on the River”; Deems Taylor, mu­ sic. commentator of the air, steps right out as Deems Taylor in “The Hardboiled Canary,” with Susanna Foster, and also in “Fantasia.” And of course band leaders play them­ selves; two of the newest baton-wav­ing performances are those of Artie Shaw in . “Second Chorus” and Orrin Tucker in “Las Vegas Nights.” Members of the cast of that same “Las Vegas Nights” were slightly slap-happy after a memorable day’s shooting in which practically ev­ erybody slapped somebody else. Virginia Dale slapped Francetta Mallory, who slapped right 'back; after that it continued, spreading to other actors, until Assistant Direc­ tor Eddie Salvan had counted 97 blows. Then he stopped counting and sent for a studio nurse and some aspirin. Jane Withers was borrowed by Twentieth Centnry-Fox from Colum­ bia to play opposite Jackie Cooper in “Her First Beau,” a role for which both Edith Fellows and Bo­ nita Granville had been mentioned. She’ll report for it in February, when she’s finished “A Very Young Lady,” also for Fox. Anna Neagle, the English screen actress, is going to give us still an­other of those musical comedies of yester-year. She’s done “Irene” and “No, No Nanette” so far, and now we hear that the next one will be "Sunny.” There doesn’t seem to be any Very good reason for these en­ deavors; neither “Irene” nor “No, No Nanette” was very goad—the latter has just been released, and in spite of. an excellent cast it’s not Grade A entertainment. And for some reason the music which made the musical a standout is now mere­ ly incidental. — * — ODDS AND ENDS d VniversaFs in the market for really an­ cient auto mobiles, such as Pope Toledos and Wintons—they’re needed for the Van­derbilt Cup race scene in the re-make of uBack Street" C Claudette Colbert has signed /for two years more with Paramount, making one picture a year.

Ask your NS Pl LLS Glittering Neckwear Will Adapt Basic Dress to AU Occasions By CHERIE NICHOLAS I '-/A J-Vi ' " - tV ■ Y OIIR simple “basic dress”—the dress that invites glamorous ac­ cessory touches—will scarcely know itself when it gets all “dolled up” with the new and “scrumptious” neckwear that makes glitter its theme.One of the most flattering fashions that was ever developed has de­ scended in a very deluge of sparkle and gleam and radiant loveliness. Collars and cuffs and bibs and plas­ trons and countless other delec­ table items are made resplendent with glittering bead embroidery and jewel-work and other magic touches that lend a festive air. See for yourself what a treat the various neckwear displays about town hold in store for you. The grandest thing about these sparkling eye-catchers is the practical solu­ tion they offer to this bugaboo of a midseason problem that always bobs up this time of the year—that of “keeping up appearance” with a wardrobe of winter leftovers until spring comes along with its quota of “new clothes.” The answer is found in the basic dress glorified with glittery neckwear and acces­ sory “fixings” which will freshen up and prettify even the most prosaic garb.For a touch of elegance on an aft­ ernoon dress nothing could be love­ lier than a beautiful Venise lace plastron gleaming with pearls (to the left above in the illustration). The stems and flowers of the floral- patterned lace are delicately out­ lined with tiny pcaTls. A new and exquisite accessory for your simple basic dress! You will find it par­ ticularly flattering with pearl ear­ rings and bracelet. Before you tour the neckwear sec­ tions, note the new vogue for deli­ cately tinted pink lace. The acces­ sory items made of it look as if they had been created in fairyland. They are exquisitely lovely, sprinkled over with wee beads that seem to dance all over the lace in a very ecstasy of glitter. You really should have jet-em­ broidered neckwear down on your memorandum. A little bengaline collar for a dress with high round neck, using jet beads in floral mo­ tifs in delicate tracery as pictured to the right will give your after­ noon dress just enough of a festive look to tune to a “don’t dress up” bid to luncheon or bridge party. You’ll love this bit of delightsome feminine frippery with jet embroid­ered on flesh pink, new champagne or white bengaline. It is a small item to be sure yet it will give a touch of elegance to any basic dress. Try it and see! And jet is “the rage”, you know. Girls of teen-age or more or less, here’s a very special message for you—see it pictured in the inset be­ low. Your tailored' pinafore dress (ever so smart this season) can be changed into a . dressy afternoon frock just like that! And it’s a charming lace guimpe that “turns the trick.” It’s made of fine Alen- con type lace with a double lace edging on the short sleeves and little pointed collar. Venise lace motifs are used for contrasts in the collar and little front inset. Pearl earrings and a three-strand necklace and bracelet are charming accessories to this dressed-up pinafore—makes it an adorable “date” dress! (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lace Trims Velvet That quaint and lovely custom of trimming with black lace has been revived. Our grandmamas and an­ cestral aunts used to glory in black lace edging to finish off most every­ thing, especially their “stand-alone” silks and their velvets.. Young girls looked bewitching in' full-skirted plaid silks with wasp-waisted bod­ ices all furbelowed with lace ruf- flings. headed with bands of narrow black velvet ribbon. And now mod­ em fashion is reviving that quaint custom. To such an extent has the edged-with-black-lace vogue been revived, that not only formal eve­ ning gowns but smart daytime black crepe frocks have their necklines, sleeves and pockets edged with nar­row lace. A most fascinating adap­ tation of the lace-trim theme is shown in the black velvet evening gown pictured. You will find touches of black lace ever so flattering and well worth trying out. Multiple Colors A costume with two if not more colors is the rule this season. Skirts, blouses and jackets in different tones are shown together, while a two- color dress will be topped with a contrasting coat. Air Travelers Go In Flying Colors Air-minded to the finger tips is the forecast by leading designers for the chic American of 1941. She’ll wear flagship red on her finger tips, a shade that keeps pilots “on the beam” in any weather, or she will flaunt the new skyhigh which is a high-styled pink with enlivening vio­ let undertones. These colors will also be translat­ed in fabrics and accessories, for as all fashion-wise women know pres­ ent vogue calls for accessories and finger tips to “match up” in color. And here’s something that’s “news,” Oie chic American air-trav- eler who takes along a formal costtune for party wear in cities she visits is including a most intriguing and decidedly original item, namely, evening slippers, made of a new transparent plastic that shows off highly colored toe tips. Tucked away for the nights she “lands” is a collapsible flagship red hat having a mesh-scarf crown that can be worn separately or with a high-flung brim that is detachable and rollable so that it won’t take up much space in packing. BasquedBodices Continue Popular Because of their almost univer­ sal becomingness basque bodices, pointed in front and usually longer than waist length,' remain a favor­ ite season-after-season style. For daytime or evening they top skirts that are flounced or gathered, or at least carry a suggestion, of fullness. For evening, the peasant effect is frequently emphasized. For exam­ ple, a dress of pale pink mousseline, shown by a West coast designer, has a pink and silver corselet laced about the waist. The corselet it curved into a point at the front to match the outline of the basque bod­ ice top.For street wear, this basque style is usually shown in materials that drape well, such as velvet, cordu­ roy, or wool challis. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAYl C H O O L L e s s o n By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. Dean of Tbe Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for January 26 . Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by. International Coimcil of Religious Education; used by permission. CHRIST’S CONCERN FOR THE LOST LESSON Y E X l-Luke 13:1-1«.GOLDEN TEXT—The Son of man Is come to seek and to save that which was lost.— Luke 19:10. Lost! What fear and disquietude grips our hearts when we hear that word! A little boy strays away into the forest, and the whole country­ side gives up its work to go and seek him. An airship fails to reach its destination, and hundreds of ships go to seek after it, while an entire nation waits in suspense. A ship is lost at sea, and the whole world grieves. But listen! It is only when ap­ plied to the spiritual life that the word “lost” finds its real depth, of meaning. To be “without God in the world” (Eph. 2:12) and without hope—that is to really be lost. Yet parents who would not rest a mo­ ment while their child was physical­ ly lost go on without concern over his spiritual condition. Our Lord had no such, unconcern. He was deeply moved over the.lost condition of men; He came “to seek and to save that which was lost.” The two parables of our lesson teach us three truths. I. Lost and Lamented (w. 1-4, 8). The publicans and sinners recog­ nized their need of a Saviour and He, knowing their lost condition, re­ ceived them, much to the disgust of the Pharisees and scribes who felt no need to be saved. They have their descendants in our churches today. The good shepherd caniiot rest while. one of the sheep is lost. Though “there-were ninety and nine that safely lay in the shelter of the fold,” he sought the lost one. His grief-stricken heart compelled him to go out into the night to find him. One wonders how we who profess to follow Christ, the Good Shepherd, can be so complacent about the lost. What if we do have the ninety and nine in church—where is the lost one? Even if we do have a large Sunday School class—where are the boys and girls who are lost? Do our hearts grieve over them? If so, we will go and seek them. We who would quickly join the woman in seeking for her coin—will we join tne Saviour (in seeking the lost? H. Sought by Sacrifice (w. 4, 8).The woman laid aside her usual duties and the pleasures of life to seek her coin. The shepherd left the warmth, the comfort, and the rest which he had earned to go out into the wilderness to seek his sheep. “But none of the ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters crossed; Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed through Ere He found His1 sheep that was lost.” Soul-winning calls for sacrifice. If the love of Christ constrains us, we will do it gladly, but if the self- seeking, comfort-loving spirit of this age controls, our lives, we will al­ ways find some excuse (not a rea­son, but an excuse). HI. Restored WiUi Rejoicing (vv. 5-7, 9, 10). The lost coin back in the owner’s hand brought joy to her and her neighbors. The shepherd calls in friends and neighbors to rejoice over the restored sheep. How intensely human that is, .and how altogether appropriate. The great truth, however, is found in verses 7 and 10, where we learn that the repentance of one sinner sets even the bells of heaven ringing as the angels of God rejoice. How long is it, my Christian friend, since you caused such joy by permitting yourself to be used of God in vanning a soul? Yes, I know that it is God who seeks, but He uses human beings as His messen­ gers, as His seekers. That is our first business after we ourselves have been saved. Our lesson will not be complete unless we consider the rest of the chapter—the parable of the prodigal son. In its main points it is like the other two parables, but there, is this vital difference—the shepherd sought his sheep, - the woman searched for her coin—the father did not seek the son; the son sought the father. Some prodigal, far from the house of his heavenly Father, may read these lines and say, “I wish some­ one would seek me out and bring me to God.” But, my friend, you 'need not wait for'anyone. Do as the prodigal did—“arise and go” to God. He is waiting for you; His love has never faltered; He wants you to come now: Make His heart rejoice, and set the choirs of heaven singing, by coming to Him by faith—just now. As Ye Go, Preach And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Ti COLD-WEATHER HOSPITALITY (See Recipes Below) What if the radio weatherman does predict a drop to 10 degrees below zero! That is no reason to put all hospitality in cold storage, too. Not if our grandmothers could have get- togethers even when they had to drive the horses through the snow, and stay the whole day! 1 And so, no matter how blustery the weather, clubs will still have their afternoon meetings, there will be cheerful teas in church parlors, and friends will drop in informally to spend the evening. If it is warm inside and there is fragrant, invit­ ing food in the offing, the sharpness of the wind won’t matter. You will want to have a few new recipes at your fingers’ ends to make such cold weather hospitality easy. If you are feeding the club, using the bridge table method, you might serve beef creole in individu­ al rice rings, a plate of celery hearts, carrot sticks and stuffed ol­ ives, together with hot rolls of your own making. Let the dessert course be coffee and an eggnog pie—a creamy yellow chiffon pie with a thin coverlet of whipped cream and a dusting of nutmeg over the top. If you’re planning a tea, remem­ ber that hot Russian tea is super­ fine with cinnamon doughnuts, split and toasted. For informal evening affairs at' your own fireside, hot cof­fee cake with currant jelly and cof­ fee will be enough to serve. If you have a wooden cheese-board or a handsome plate, show it off .with a collection of cheese and crackers and a bowl of assorted fruit like that shown in the picture above. Russian Tea.

Criticizes Tbe Governor Rev. G. C. Graham, of Lewis­ ville, wrote the following letter to Governor Broughton: My Dear Governor:—As one of the responsible citizens of this state that I love and cherish, and as one who follows its political fortunes with close interest and prayer for its honorable development, I am writing to give yon a word ot my reaction to your inaugural address. It should be a source of much gra­ tification that the entire procedure of this great occasion was made a. vailabln to tbe majority of our North Carolina homes. Your address dealt' with many pertinent issues issues and most of them were given careful and most ample attention. We followed you patiently through their lengthy dis­ cussion, and we said “amen” to the substance of practically every recommendation for continuation of certain policies and the initiating of some new legislation. However, I shonld like to say with a little extra emphasis that your puny reference to the major issue that confronts you and all the people of our state, that of the traffic in ‘beverage alcohol, was not only a keen disappointment, but a distinct shock. If the moral forces of the state can expect no more leadership and conviction from you than that insignificant reference in­ dicates on this crying issue, then the Democratic party in the state must be greatly discounted, and leadership for the canse of human welfare will have <o be sought else, where. Two great disappointments by successive leaders in our highest state office are going to be very hard on the party in mv opinion. Perhaps there, is some strategy of policy and some sincere con vie tion on this issue that was not dis closed in your address. That is a faint hope, I assure you. Federal Power Grows. Greenville. (S. C.) News. Federal government power over river riven, large and small, and even creeks, is greatly enlarged Uy Ifonday1S decision of the United States Suvreme Court, which' has come pretty dose to wiping out ail claims of state sovereignty over streams within state territory. -. It.has been previously considered that federal authority as to streams could only - be properly exercised with regard to sttea'ms that were considered “navigable;” and one recalls a great amount of sarcastic comment in- the North Carolina press over an order of some federal commission concerning a develop* ment on the upper Yadkin River, which order interfering with a pow­ er development was based on the theory that the stream was "navi, gable.” Thiscumnt decision, however, takes a broad sweep and holds that the federal government's authority over streams is not limited merely to considerations of navigation. “Flood protection, watenhed de­ velopment, recovery of the cost of improvement through utilization of power are likewise parts of com merce control,” says the Court; and it is rather clear that these va­ rious reasons would provide grounds tor federal control over, just about any stream that flows through any state in tbe Union. Sa there is ' another instance of enlargement of federal powers over the domain of the states by this “New Deal” Supreme Court—if anybody wants to make anything of it. BUYER MEETS SELLER cs .j ^sad Failh In His Jadgmeiit One of Governor Hoey’s last commitments before turning over the reins to his successor, was to tell the present General Assembly that it was merely a matter of the four constitutional officers. The legis. Iature accepted his judgment and with tha crafty aid of Speaker Mali, authorized the raises, and action that has brought considerable criti­ cism down upon the solons. However, The Charlotte Obser­ ver Is not one of the critics. It "accepts the action as having been fair and wife,” and reaches its con. elusion thusly: “We bad rather follow, the judg* men of Governor Hoey in a matter of this kind than that of all the raucous voices of . dissent In the General Assembly or those in edi­ torial chairs.” What editors think fibont it doesn’t matter now. Thad Eure, et al, have their faie and doubtless don’t give a hang about what any body thinks. Even General As­ sembly couldn’t go back and re­ examine its work, because. Uncle Oduspulled the “rules” on 'em. (Or should we say the rules that that weren’t.) But to take the position that the “king can do no wrong,” in this era of conflicting thinking, is taking on a pretty big order. Governor Hoey considered it a matter of “simple justice” to equa. Iize the pay of the officers in ques- tion with that of other State officers who received increases in 193 7 or 1939. These constitutional officers were given i ncreases in 193 7 for the same reason, and probably come another legislature, the vicious cir cle will be continued. No matter what Governor Hoey or anv governor thinks about it, we won't call it “simple justice” to increase the already bulging pay envelope of these officials by an a. mount that equals the $ 6 0 0 a-year of prison guards and of school teachers who get little more for their year’s work than has been add, ed to the pav checks of the swivel, chair artists. We, too, have a high regard for Mr. Hoey’s judgment, but before accepting it as final, we reserve the right to take it apart to see what makes it click.—State* ville Daily. Circular On Tobaceo Revised For Farmers. A revised £nd more attractive and informal publication on growing fine-cured tobacco has been prepar. ed by the North CaroiinaState Co!.

Cale K. Burgess, pre sident of tbe United Dty Forces, is authority for that, and announces that hb Raleigh office has catalo­ gued 3 0 ,0 0 0 IndivIdnaI petitions from voters in all of the ioocoun- ties asking tbe assembly to approve that bill and that other individual petitions are coming In at the rate of 1 ,0 0 0 a day. Churches throughout the State are girding themselves for the fight. Temperance programs are the order and under Kr. Burgess’ prodding the religionists are being organized as If for a crusade. It would not be at all ^nrcrising if the legists, ture falls to bold against the pres­ sure. In the tight of recent history all this is a Mt confusing. Duringthe 193 5 session of the General Assem bly, a statewide referendum was proposed, but if this corner remem­ bers aright Mr. Burgess bitnself was quite luke-warm about it, and pro­ minent dry leaden helped to kill all three measures, and the church peo­ ple not only were lethargic, they ac­ tually opposed the proposal for a referendum. Why this somersault. Well, for one thing the wets In 1935, were quite confident of vie. tory, and actually were the movers for carrying the issue to the people. Of course any move from that source was to be regarded as a sig­ nal to take out In tbe other direc­ tion. And that Is what the drys did, for the simple reason that at that time they were afraid of what the result might be. Likewise when t h e despised “county bills,” which authorized liquor stores in a score of counties were before the legislature, Presi dent Burgess and his fellow dry leaden didn’t bother to fight them, probably on tbe theory. that these stores would so debauch these conn, ties as to invite tbe wrath of their citizenry. Bnt it hasn’t turned out that way. One county, it is true, has backtracked by popular vote, but the others probably would’t by a long shot. However, In the Piedmont, every proposal to establish liquor stores is promptly and convincingly voted down, and that, along with other things, has encouraged the drys to take the other horn of tbetr dilemma this time. In 1 9 3 5 the wets thought they could win in a referendum and tbe drys were du­ bious of ditto. Now their faiths have been reversed. And obvious. Iy we may as well get ready for an other knock .down* and .drag out f ght, which the State could well be soared—no matter who proposes it. —Statesville Daily. Should Close Season. Sportsmen are wailing because of tbe diortage of quail. Uany hunts this year in Wilkes eounts have been fruitless and hunters have come back with tbe work that there do not seem to be as many quail as when the season closed last year. Something mast be done about the situation and we suggest a shorter ison. Until the supply is reple­ nished we suggest a season of only four weeks, from Thanksgiving until Christmas. If this doesn’t do the situation any good, then dose the season entirely for a couple of yean and put heavy penalties on those who take quail by any means. Of course such drastic action would create a howl from bird hunt, era but the situation has become so critical that drastic aetion must be taken or quail will be something to remember instead of bunt.—Wilkes Journal.

Forgotten Tune Needed. Hickory Daily Record. Oh for a big bundle of the hick, ory, switches of yesteryear, with which they were wont to teach readin and ‘ritin’ and 'rithmetic to a once generally familiar tnne. Some old time teachers and a few parents like our grandsires, armed with plenty of sued real persuasive­ ness, could settle the strike ot school children at the Weaverville High school In Buncombe county in don. ble-quick order. According to tbe Asheville Citi- zen, those boys and girls out 1 strike had been reduced approxi­ mately one.half Tuesday, but even so there were fifty-five gathered a- round a campfire—singing, yelling, and dancing in open defiance of school authorities. The trouble, so tbe news reports state, started as a protest move, ment following the appointment of Claude L. Love, Asheville attorney, as principal of the High school to fill a vacancy The children, it seems, had their hearts set on bav. ing their popular athletic coach, Otis. Peterson, elevated to the prin. dpalship. In addition to voicing their de­ mand for Peterson as tbeir school head, the striking students insist on the resignation of Mr. Love, whom they charge with being “a stranger to us”, and one with whom tbe boys and girls can have “no person­ al contact" after school -boun. The Record knows absolutely nothing concerning the situation, except that a group of children are demanding the right to run their school, instead of being willing to to entrust that right to duly author, ized school authorities. If a handful of willful boys and girls is permitted to get away with any such attitude of open defiance, they will have been permanently harmed rather than helped by the public schools. Discipline is the first and fore­ most lesson which a student should learn. This is not the first time a group of children has decided to take over the mananement of a school. The old method of combatting such a spirit of open revolt was a concert­ ed counter-movement by determin­ ed school teachers and parents, with a generous application of whatever it took in the way of punishment.

Impmement Firit There have been, reports that there will be groups of the legisla­ ture this year seeking to Increaee the term of public schools in North Carolina from eight to nine months. We stand solidly for better schools and In so doing we believe that the state of North Carolina should first reach the point where it can maintain and operate schools properly for eight months before attempting a nine months term. Under the present school system the teachers are underpaid. Thdr salaries are so low that many of tbe better teachers have been Ieavlni the profession to accept jobs In pri­ vate industry which will pay wage# sufficient for a decent livelihood. Teachen are overloaded. No teacher with fifty or more students can do justice to her job. School buses are crowded and better school facilities |R needed in practically every district in North Carolina. If Ihe state of North Carolina can remedy these eyils and increase the term to nine mooths it would be doing the miraculous. . Until the state of North Carolina nays teachers reasonably good sal. aries; until tbe teacher load Is re­ duced to a point where each child can get a reasonable amouot of aU tention; until an adequase number of school buses can he provided and maintained so that buses built to haul less tban fifty will not have to haul 1 0 0 or more; until there are sufficient buses to haul the children without tbem having to leave home before daylight; until the state Ia financially able to pay enough to secure really capable school .bus drivers—all these, for eight months —tbe time will not have been reach­ ed to Dropose extending tbe term to nine months throughout the state.—Wilkes Journal. An American Ezpedi* tionary Force To Europe? Congressman Carroll Reece, of Tennessee. Those who are following the velopment8, step bv step, of A* merica’8 entrance into the war, ate beginning to see that an American expeditionary force to Europe WlU be the next step after we have be­ come sufficiently involved with money, and after the public mind has been properly conditioned, to make it safe to propose this last step into the war. It is being pointed out even Iqr military observers that the defeat of Germiny and Italy simply is not pos* sible unless Ehgland could send a a , army of men through the aubiugated countries, or some of them, a t least, such as France, Belgium and Hoi* land, and into Germany. Bnglaad would have neither the means nor the money to equip tbe manpower ot the subjugated countries—even pre* Burning that the German army would permit it. therefore, ■ American observers foresee clearly that the time will come in the not far distant future when propaganda for the sending another American expeditionary force to Earope will be in fall cry. Already military observers are point­ ing out that Britain actually Iaisfca the manpower to operate the shipe we are trying to send her unless Americans are allowed to go into the British, service. — Johnson County- News. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) XTEW YORK1-Ju st how far Dr. ' ’ Arnulfo Arias, new president of Panama, will co-operate with the U. S. A. in defending the Canal Zone ^ * M wg ■ has been a Cuban A llegiance topic of con_ To H em isphere siderable ar- is B it D ubious P 1Pent .9 last several weeks, some of it out in the open. t Several correspondents have Sicked ftie'president with charges of Fas­ cist- leanings and have quoted him ,:V.aSt saying that any grants for naval _,tases would not of necessity be Iim- wHfed to the United States. Not nec- ■S^g^&iSly as a riposte to these thrusts, .pledges co-operation with • .nSs, northern neighbor, but makes '"certain qualifications. He proposes to-’abandon no sovereignty and de­ mands .“understanding and unself­ishness from the United States.” vWhich seems fair enough at this distance. President Arias, son of a wealthy cattle-raiser, attended Hartwick col- ’ 'lege, Oneonta, N. Y., topk a bache­ lor- of science degree at the Uni- . veisity of Chicago, and a medical degree at Harvard. He began prac­ tice as a surgeon, but was diverted . to politics in 1931, being in the diplo­ matic service at Paris and Rome. At the age of 39, he is the youngest chief executive in Latin-America. One canse of much pulling and hauling over the president’s political leanings was the new constitution which he promul­ gated within 17 days of his elec­ tion last fall. It withdrew citi­zenship from about 90,090 non- Spanish speaking Panamanians, many from the West Indies, and left them without a country. It extended the powers of the state in the expropriation of property; and the president, in decreeing its adoption, said it would provide “state socialism consonant with new social move­ ments.” This take-off, with many later references to a “dis­ ciplined people” stirred, possi­ bly irresponsible, talk of foreign derivation of the new constitu- . tion. Good - looking, handsomely tai­lored, a facile orator, Dr. Arias was elected by the largest majority ever given a Panamanian president. Washington has shown no official concern over the liberal and left charges of doubtful allegiance. •---- TOHN P. FREY, president of the ^ metal trades department of the A. F. of L., announces the “no strike” and full co-operation policy M etal Workers’ Chief Is Firm for national de- LaborStatusQuo MrfFreyfone of the most eminent of the elder statesmen of the labor movement, is, like Ernest Bevin of England, a staunch conservative who has cracked down on the left-wingers and has singled out radicals, rather than employers as the most danger­ ous foes of labor. When the C. I. O. was estab­ lished he raked John L. Lewis as “a tool of Moscow” and nev­ er ceased firing until Mr. Lewis* withdrawal. It is understood that his animus, is considerably less toward Philip Murray, Mr. Lewis’ successor, and the more optimistic among labor critics .and onlookers see hope of peace, under the unifying stress of the defense call. Mr. Frey has great influence in the A. F. of L. and his metal trade workers, nearly a million of them, are in a key spot. White-naired, baldish, clerical in appearance, facile in speech and a ready writer and controversialist, Mt. Frey is a veteran jouster in many wordy tournaments in which ' he has expounded the old-line Sam Gompers gospel of labor paddling its own canoe and not getting caught in any errant political or intellectual drifts. Gompers repeatedly warned labor to fight shy. of governmen­ tal entanglements, and Mr. Frey has carricd on from where he left off. This drive has brought him Into some violent collisions with the New Deal labor program. He' has vigor­ously assailed the Labor Rela­ tions board and the wages and hours act. Mr. Frey has been known as a “lab'or educator” for many years. Among the half-dozen books and scores of labor tracts. and pam­ phlets that he has written, there is only one that deviates from ortho­ dox conservative opinion, “Bankers’ Domination,” written in 1933 and charging the depression to the bank­ ers. He is 70 yeais ci~. He was ed­ itor of the Molders’ Journal from 1993 to 1927. He has lectured, on trade unionism at the University, of Chicago, and was president of th» Ohio'State Federation of Labor from 1584 to W Warriors Hailed by Greeks Wild with joy over their country’s successes against the Italians, the populace of Athens, Greece, gives a rousing reception to Greek and British soldiers home from the! battlefront.

W HEN talk began of 50,000 airplanes a year, the Amer­ ican public w a s surprised. to learn that it takes at least five men on the ground to keep one man in the air, but the picture makers of Hollywood consid­ ered the number rather small; you see, they use anywhere from thirty to forty persons be­ hind the camera to keep one actor in front of it.. In a scene made for "That Un­certain Feeling,” in which Merle Oberon appeared alone before the camera, there were 35 persons on the set to help her make a shot which will last 15 seconds on the screen. If you’re interested, the list included two assistant directors, a cameraman, a camera operator, two camera assistants, ten electri­ cians, three carpenters, two prop­ erty men, four sound men, a paint­ er, a wardrobe woman, a makeup man, a body makeup woman,- a' hairdresser,' a still photographer, a playback operator, a pianist for-off­ stage sound and a stand-in.

Mast Filter UsSfl m FootwearL ’ WA gas mack «nd a woman’ a ahuea are two very different themes we admit and it has been left to science to-refete them. And here’s how! .-Smce the war vand the necessity for •pSrsOnal; protection came experi­ ments and improvements on the gas mask of 1914-1918. Inventors took old gas masks apart, put new ones together, substituting, adding: and perfecting with the result a new filter has.been developed. -- Since then it has been discov­ ered that .when specially treated this filter was .found to have the quali­ ties which make an ideal medium .for innersoles. So now you. can get shoes, by making known your wants to your* salesperson, with “insole- ated” innersoles that actually do re­ lieve “burning feet,’- the ailment generally conceded to . be the cause, of foot fatigue and the many-foot ills following -it. Something that would establish a normal foot temperature would ac­ complish the cure, doctors said, and onco-insole-ated does just that. This new comfort-giving sole which new­ est smartly styled shoes have , also acts as a shock absorber and is molded with first wearing to the in­ dividual contours of the foot. .The fact .that insulation is put to gobd use in shoe as well as gas mask construction ,is just one more 'indication of-American ingenuity. It gives' us one; more reason for being glad:-.jo be Americans in that our "women are buying shoes for the j protection -of feet instead of gas masks for the protection of life. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAYlCHOOL Lesson By HABOLD L.LUNDQUIST, D. D.

THE INDIVID DAL’S RESPONSI­ BILITY REGARDING BEV­ ERAGE ALCOHOL LESSON TEtQIr -Habakkuk .2:15: Genesis., 4:9-12; M ark 9:42-48; I Thessalonlans 5:22. GOLDEN TEX T — Abstain from every form of evil.—I Tbessalonians 5:22, R. V. “Responsible for the druukardsc of my community? Not me; I am against the use of intoxicating Iiq-. uors.” Such is the answer-Christian, men and women would probably make if faced with that accusation. But wait! Responsibility means more than just refraining oneself or speaking against “booze” in a church meeting. Before we finish the study of our lesson,, we may find ourselves guilty of the charge, and needing to ask forgiveness, and see the need of bringing forth works meet unto repentance. We hear God’s -Word telling us: I. Do Not Tempt Youi Neighbor (Hab. 2:15). God is very severe in judgment upon those who tempt others. Of course He condemns the one who gives another a drink of liquor. Nothmg could be more despicable than thus to start a man or woman on the way to a drunkard’s grave. There can be no question about the guilt of the one who makes the stuff and the one who sells it. But be­ yond that, those are guilty who share in the profits from such a busi­ ness, who rent their buildings for the manufacture or sale of liquor, who vote to legalize its sale or sup­ port politicians who do such things; in fact, everyone who encourages, condones, or in any way profits, whether directly or indirectly, from “the traffic.” Are you still “not guilty” ? H. Do Not Fail Your Brother(Gen. 4:9-12). Everyone who says, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” classes himself with the murderer Cain. Certainly I am my brother’s keeper. This is the positive side of the matter. It is not enough that I do not tempt my brother. The question is: “Have I neglected to do anything that I could and should have done to save him?” That makes it my positive busi­ ness to eliminate every possible temptation. If means that the Christian is vitally concerned about the taverns, road houses, dance halls, and what not, which entrap and destroy our young people. It is not enough to passively lament their presence; we. must actively seek their removal. It can be done, and is being done all over the land. m . Do Not Offend CbUdren (Mark 9:42). The Lord holds His followers to a high measure of responsibility re-, garding the chttdren whose lives they touch, whether they be in their own famUy, or in the community in which they live. Children are innocent until their elders make them otherwise. In their innocency they are trustful and ready to learn.-Their knowledge of the right way to live is received from their parents and other grown­ ups, and (mark it well!) they learn more froiri what we do than from what we say. Here is the question each one of us should honestly face right now: ■ How does my daily walk influence the children who. see me?” Let us answer that in-the light of verse 42. IV. Abstain From EvU-Judgment Is Coming (Mark 9:43-48; I Thess. 5:22). The Christian is called to abstain from “aU appearance of evU” or, as the Revised Version puts it, “every form of evil” (I Thess. 5:22). That may caU for the sternest kind of self-denial (Mark 9:43-47), but why not? We do not follow a Christ who sought for Himself the way of ease or comfort, He gave Himself in complete and willing sacrifice, going even to the death of Calgary’s tree for us. Do we then falter and seek the easy way? The fact that there is a day of judgment to come is something to remember, but may we not stress the other side of the truth. “The very sternness of our Lord’s, stric­ tures regarding the importance of self-denial only serves to enhance the value of the privUege we enjoy in being citizens of the kingdom of God. If it is worth the loss of a hand, a foot, or an eye to gain that life, then, in view of the great value -W® place on these members of our bodies, how great must be our di­ vine privUege. Christianity is not merely a negative religion, but it takes the negative simUes to .-show us the positive glories” (DK John W. Bradbury). .

MID-WINTER MENUS (See Recipes Below) You may have a mental filing system for your menus, or you may Jot down your meal ideas and sUp them into a recipe box. Either way, the chances are' that mid-winter finds you in the market for some fresh and workable ideas for what to feed the famUy. First and foremost, you wfll want your winter menus to be warming and heartening. The calorie con­ tent may be a little higher be­ cause more ener­ gy is needed to supply heat and because the cold stimulates us to more activity. Vi­ tamin suppliers need to be care­ fully watched. With your garden adrift with snow, not so many fresh vegetables and fruits wfll find their way to your table without a spe­ cial effort on your part. Even if fresh peas, green -beans and vine-ripened' tomatoes are out of reach, almost any market boasts whole bins fifled with apples, sweet potatoes, cabbage and carrots—aU of them potent sources of vitamins. Plenty of grapefruit, oranges and tomato juice wiU help to replace the fresh tomatoes. But now for the menus! Two are dinners—one buflt around a fragrant, red-brown dish of Hungarian gou­ lash served with plenty of hot but­ tered noodles; the other, sausages baked under a covering of York­ shire pudding. The third meal is a hot soup luncheon. * , Hungarian Goulash Buttered Noodles Salad Bowl (spinach, carrot, raw cauliflower) BrazU Nut Cherry Pie Coffee Milk Yorkshire Sausages Canned Green Beans with Mustard .

Pull the Trigger on Lazy Bowels, and Comfort Stomach, too When constipation brings on add in­digestion, stomach upset, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste and bad breath, your stomach is probably “frying the blues” because your bowels don’t move. It calls for Laxative-Senna to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels, combined with Syrup Pepsin to save your touchy stomach from further dis­tress. For years, many Doctors have used pepsin compounds as vehicles, or car* riers to make other medicines agreeable 'to your stomach. So be sore your laxa­tive contains Syrup Pepsin. Insist on Dr. Caldwell’s LaxativeSennacombined with Syrup Pepsin. See how wonderfully the Laxative Senna wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your intestines to bring welcome relief from constipation. And the good old Syrup Peprin makes this laxative so comfortable and easy on your stomach. Even finicky children love the taste of this pleasant family laxative. Buy Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative Senna at your druggist today. Try one laxative that comforts your stomach, too. IOar Merit There is scarce any man who cannot persuade himself of his own merit.

C. JANUARY 29. 1941. THE DAVIE RECORD. C FRANK STROUD - • EdRw. TELEPHONE Entered at the Poatoffice in Mocks- vllle, N. C., as Second-elas* Kail matter. Uareh 3,1908. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE . f SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - I Up to the hour of going to press we haven’t beard of any special legislation that has been passed for Davie county. The world, may be getting better but we notice that 23 divorces were granted one tnoroing last week in Forsyth Superior court. It is interesting to compare the speeches Mr. Roosevelt made be fore the November election and the ones he has made since. There is no comparison. 'He may have changed ghost writers. There is no man living whose place couldn’t be filled were he to be called to his final rewaid. Many great men have lived and died dnr ing the past century, but their places have been filled and the old world keeps moving along. Despite the fact that 1940 census gives Mocksville but a few over 1600 population, the town keeps growing. New bouses are being erected in various parts of the town, and most of them are rented long before they are ready for occupancy. It pays to advertise in The Re- cord. The Mocksville Cash Store carried a blanket ad last week and had sold over zoo blankets by Sat­ urday evening as a direct result of the ad. The wise merchant who wants to reach the Davie county people, uses The Record columns. The cost is very small. The Record has heard much com plaint about bow this, that and the other thing was operated. The editor of The Record doesn't hold any public office, political or other­ wise in the town, county, or state, and hasii’t anything to do with the way things are run by those who are in charge of public affairs. We are kept busy trying to keep out of the way of automobiles, bicycle riders, skaters and also trying to keep out of .the county home and jail bouse. We have no criticism to make. The people vote for the people they want to manage the affairs of town, county and state. Of course there are timts when the voters are mistaken. Still Believe Io Prayer. According tp.a story in the cur­ rent issue Thursday, a Winston Salem weekly newspaper, the ‘Tav lor Bros, tobacco factory in that city, believes in prayer. This fac. tory was founded 50 years ago by Bill and Jack Taylor. ' During all these jo years, • the . factory .has closed ' down every-day a few minutes beforh' the 'noon hour to permitti a daily prayer, meeting The employees conduct the services which dousists-of spirituals and shoit sermons. The factoiy is nowoper ated by Harry and Archie Taylor. The country would better off in many ways if all the. mills and fac­ tories would take a few minutes off every day to worship the Lord In song and payer. Groundhog Committee. Next Sunday, Feb. and, is groundhog day. It is our custom to appoint a committee each year froln the Sheffield section to meet the said hog and plead with him to be lenient with ns folks who haven’t much fuel. TheRecord owned a ground-hog last year, but he made his escape and we believe, headed toward Sheffield. Therefore, we now appoint the following commit­ tee of just and true men to meet the said hog at sunup next Sunday morning: D. P. Dyson, R. N. Smith, J. A. Blackwelder, D. L. Dyson, T. M. Richardson, S S. Beck, Charlie Reeves, D. L Richardson, Hugh Edwards and Dorset! Smith. Fail not, gentlemen, to meet at the ap­ pointed time and -take such - action as may be necessary. The Oldest Paper. Dear Mr. Stroud:—In last issue of The Record I noticed an editorial paragraph which suggests th a t there is some question with regard to -which newspaper is the oldest in your county I do not know the exact age of any of the publications, but I can give you some facts that will es­ tablish without doubt the priority of the papers now being published there. . Of course we all know that the old Davie Times was the first paper In the county. The Davie Record seas established while the Times was being published; therefore is the oldest. The Cooleemee paper would come second, because it was established during the period in which the Mocksville Courier was being published. When toe Courier was establish­ ed the old Davie Times was sold to Mr. T. R. Walsh, who continued it for a short time, when it was sus. pended and the press and printing equipment sold to the Cooleemee paper. Mr. Walsh and the writer hauled the Davie Times outfit to Cooleemee, and set up and printed a couple of issues of the Cooleemee paper there. The Courier was established by a stock company, and for a shott time flourished like the “ green bay tree by the river.’’ It wa^ one of the state’s most enthusiastic agita tors for state wide prohibition, and strange as it may seem, went down because the editor did not ‘‘prac­ tice what he preached ” Intemper­ ance kept him away from bis office for days at a time; the editorial scissors took on rust, the paste pot dried up, cob-webs gathered over the type cases and the old Camp, bell ■ press ceased to wheeze and griad. The poor printers devil was put out of work minus a couple of months wages. (.Would I remem­ ber!) And thus the Courier took its place in the newspaper grave­ yard to rest with the old Davie Times, leaving the Davie Record and the Cooleemee Journal to carry on. R. S. M ERONEY. Center News.

I can find it: I ask you—not now but later when you’ve- less to dis­ turb you—to think seriously whether I’ve ever violated your confidence. I knew about Groye and his key. I saved him once from the jam he is in now. I knew of his liaison' mdth lone. See how much of that you can'find in the Press, or any other newspaper—up to now.” AlIegra gave a little laugh of dis­ belief. She tossed Duke’s, squeal on the desk between us and went from the room. I bowed jerkily to Miss Agatha and headed for the door. Her voice checked me. “Up to now,” she repeated. “Db I understand ,.that is a threat?” I had stood plenty. Her stem eyes could not beat mine down. “And do I understand,” I an­ swered, “that your question is a prelude to bribery?” “Are you,” shie inquired, “doing your best to Be insulting?” “I am,” I told her, “and I didn’t begin it.” She chuckled. The hearty sound never seemed more bizarre. It wrecked melodrama and spoiled my pose. I stared. Miss Agatha grinned. “Put down your hat and coat,” she bade me. “I want to talk to you. Don’t stand there gawping. Do as I . say. Allegra is troubled with ideals. She’ll outgrow them in time. Suppose you tell me, "as po­ litely as you can manage, just how you happen to be on the Press.” She smoked ono of my cigarettes while I confessed my arrangement with Cochrane, an I the difficulties of being pulled two ways by con­ flicting loyalties. Once or -twice, while I spoke, she nodded and when I had ended, gave that preposterous grin of hers. “You make me feel better,” she told me. “I didn’t want to believe I’d twice been mistaken in my esti­ mates of character in so short a time.”I found myself defending Grove. “You’ll leara when this thing is unscrambled that he’s been just a young idiot, nothing more. No one can make me believe that—” “No one can make me, either,” she broke in, quietly. “He’s a good boy. He’s laddng in common sense, that’s all.' Well, it’s a family fail­ ing.” “Miss Agatha,” I -blurted, smit­ ten by the calm she preserved above the anguish that must be tearing at her, “you’re a game guy!” Her face relaxed a trifle: “David,” she said, “when wom­ en reach my age, they cry easily, or not at all. I have no gift for tears. Grove is in trouble and I have to help. him. I always used to pull him out of scrapes. That’s my job again.” She looked at me and the wrinkles about her eyes deepened. “If you had a spark of chivalry,” she mocked, “you’d offer to Iieipi me.” “And if,” I answered, “you had; any intuition whatever, yoii would know that1 anything I’ve got is yours.” “I do know it,” she admitted with another chuckle, and then grew Sud­ denly grave. “Will you help me,” she asked,, “to save my nephew from the trou-;' ble into which a scoundrel and a stupid police force have plunged him and out of which a pompous.' lawyer apparently- can’t get him? I am an old woman, David, and a cripple. I can’t put a murder and a suicide where they belong, by my-, self.” ; , “All you have to do,” I prom­ ised, “is point out the murderer.” “Do you- think so?” she asked tartly. “I’ve found him already.” I looked hard at her. “It’s Lyon Ferriter,” said Agatha Paget. “I’ve known that' all'along.” By FREDERIC F. VAN DE WAjTER * vining her need,>i offered a cigarette and lit it for her,, Smoke and some­thing more dire had narrowed her eyes as She went on': ' ' “Lyon Ferrites Was cteVer in his alibi. Since the part that anyone can ckeck was fact,, it .has to be presumed the rest was too. No one can prove he Was in that flat when:r e man was-stabbed. What?” • I had started to apeak.. Now I said, “Excuse me,” and held .my wprdal '.,B8. . .■ “And ’until,” Miss Agatha Went on, “that is proved and it is -found how he'got otit afterward,-Lyori Fer­ riter tMkita he is saf& He. is'proud of his. cleverness, ^fThat. is danger­ ous—for hiin.”,^ .' , “Well?” I 'askgd as she paused. She' did not seem ’td hear hie. She. pursued, her eyes stiH narrow, her, voice daunting- in its, calm:-., • “All of:which has been.none.of an ,old woman’s business—up to now. Lyon FeJriter billed on -me this mornmg.::;c;He said he wanted tb-help Grove. What he wanted was to ad­ mire his own cleverness. If he had come to me fairly, David; if he had said. ‘Your nephew and my sister, have been, having an.affair. How can we - get them oiit of trouble most easily?’ he would have had me as an ally.” - r She rubbed the cigarette out on the ash tray with slow violence. I I KR VAH DC WATER - jfe'we N.U. service --.*.w CHAPTER' XVI , Miss Agatha’s quiet words were more shocking than screams. They Woke so simply and repdily the be­ lief that I had .blundered toward, and recoiled from and reached at again that I could only stare at her. I blurted: < “How do you know?” She was like a damaged and an­ cient lamp in which the flame still burned clearly. She told me: \ “From his hands. I was sure the evening when Captain Shannon first questioned him. ^ Don’t ypu ^emem- “Very well,^ I answeredp-Hrat—1“ “His hands,”,ABe weqj.pn, ,“hunj at his sides. Usually, he qses them a lot. He was watching1 himself He was acting-the part of an’en tirely ipnpcent person in whoSe fla a man bad been'found murdered He was overacting it. He had some thing - to - hide -and he .was-hiding it very carefully. Too carefully to too me.” ! “Then why—?”'i'began, but sh( cut me off. “David,” she said, “I’tre been-nev- er so certain of my own virtues.that I cared'to hunt down the iniquit# of others. Mr. Ferriter may have, had very good reasons for killing his visitor, but—” T She bit on nothing with a little jerk of her head and I thought of Lachesis, the withered Fate who cuts the cord.' She rummaged .i^ her handbag for something and, di- “Do I understand that is a threat?” gave her another. Her voice had an odd ring as she went on: “But he didn’t. He had no idea why Grove was In his flat! He said that he had given the boy a key because Grove was -in and out of the apartment a good deal. Implic­ itly he served notice on me that that was what he had told, or .’will’tell,- the police. Heffi protect his sister and leave Grove to be scapegoat, for the death of Everett and the earlier’ riiufder, if -possible. ' My nephew’s .plight is a godsend' to him.” “And ,to’ lone?”. ,-I asked, doubt­ fully. V • -i " - “And to lone," Miss Agatha an­ swered and her jaw grew hard. “She hasn’t spoken, has she? She has not. come forward with the truth to help her. lover. . Hers is. the perfect fear that casteth out love. I wish I knew what it is.” . .. ,Her self-possession got me by the throat. I blurted-: . T - ' “How foul people are!” " Miss Agatha cocked ah eye- at me. ,,VSo you’re.finding tha} .out?” ,she asked.; , -V- , .' y She sat'siieht a moment and I fhought of-the Weathered figurehead, immune to storm.... ; “Miss Agatha,” I. said, ‘iwhat do you'want me to do? ” ' She answered indirectly in a level voice:. “AU my life, thanks to my legs, Fve been audience to the sorry dramas mortals play: I don’t like the way this particular one prom: ises to end. I don’t like .the thought of Grove StUl in jail—though ! un­ derstand he is only being ‘held for questioning’ according to Senator Groesbeck.” “Has he—your nephew—given any explanation?” The affectionate smUe that accom­ panied her reply was pitiful, Grove, it appeared, had said nothing to the police and little enough to IUs law­ yer. He had been typing's letter at the desk in the workroom and had seen a Ught in the apartment, across the air shaft. He had gone, to the 'Ferriter flat and had found Everett about to throw himself from the window. He had tried to hold him, but the man had screamed and torn .free. That was all. Hewould say no more. He would not even ex­ plain the note the police had found in-His pocket. •- “And thejr say,” Miss Agaffia end­ ed, ‘‘that chivalry is dead. Grove, the young sophisticate, posing as Sidney Carton would be funny if it weren’t so tragic. He "won’t see ffiat: ; He won’t help himself. Very weU, I shaU have to save him by putting LyCh Ferriter in his place,” The certainty in her voice stirred mine to awe as I.asked: “How?” -MisS Agatha Iookedat me hard for. an instant and the wrinkles about her eye* deepened, - - - “David,” she said. “I haven’t the least idea,” and she gave her deep chuckle- I sat on the desk’s edge and told her everything I knew. It was a relief to talk to someone without holding back. We smoked together at .first'and then, as I -passed'from ffi'ie scuffle in the basement to the duel with Lyon- and the rifling of-my room, the cigarette burned down un­ heeded in- her fingers. She asked at last: , , . ............ ■ “And .why have yop bad all this attention?” . , . . : * “Miss Agatha,” I told her with a grin', “I haven’t'the least idea.” She, chuckled again. “At any rate,” she said, “we start even as allies.” Y “Wait,” '!"bade, and told her af the foreign voice" I had heard at Miho’s. . She looked at me hard When I had finished. “Are you sure?” she hske'd. I - shrugged.--- ’-- : > - • . “Right, how; I’m. not .very: sure of- anything. Yet I don’t think I’m be­ ginning to hear voices. And it may be important, but it isn’t evidence, unless we. can persuade Lyon to drop back into it again for the bene­ fit of the police.” “No,” she said thoughtfully. “You’re right. It’s a signpost, noth­ing more. There is a flaw in Lyon, somewhere. Everybody has one. Jt we could only find it and work or it—” ' “You said he was proud,” I re­minded her. “And clever,” she added. “And also lucky, at poor Grove’s expense. Think a minute.” 1 She gathered her fragile.body to­ gether and'Tooked hard at ffie hands clasped in her narrow lap as though they held a seer’s crystal ball. “Think,” she went on, “of his luck. Everett knew Lyon had killed Blackbeard. And Everett was fright­ ened. Anyone could see that. He was not of the breed of heroes. You were to be killed by accident while Everett rifled your room. The Fer- riters thought, you had ; something that was key to ffie murder.” “And Everett, failed,” I offered as she paused, “and that, -plus fear, destroyed him,. So-he wrote a fare­ well note to his family, who were waiting for him to show up at Mi­ ne’s, and killed himself out of sheer terror.” „ The surprise in her face heart­ ened me. “Yes,” Miss Agatha said slowly* “that is quite possible and Grove found ffie note and since its implica­ tions seemed to threaten the well­ being of his precious beloved, pock­ eted it — he would — and. thereby damned himself.” There was excitement and odd re­ lief in thrusting facts into ffie pig­eonholes of theory where, at least, they would lie without falling out in confusion. Faint pink had come to Miss Agatha’s cheek-bones and her eyes sparkled. I asked: “Has your nephew told tp whom he wrote ffie letter at this desk last night?” “He has not,” Miss - Agatha an­ swered. “I never have known si­ lence less golden than his.” “Because,” I went on,: “I think he is telling ffie truth,” and then I confided my own experience at ffiat desk when, looking up, I had seen a light across ffie area and Grove pull­ ing down a shade in ffie Ferriter flat. Miss Agatha, when I had ended, reached out a hand and, amazingly, patted my knee. •' “I think, David,” she said , quiet­ ly, “a very wrong-headed pair Of women owe you more than an apolo­ gy for what they thought of you this morning." “Forget it,” I told her. She shook her head. “No,” she said. “Just postpone it, Mightn’t it be well if we were1 to write down, separately, all we know and suspect of this-bewilder- ment? Thereafter, comparing our lists, we might find some hint of what else we should do?” “It might,” I granted, humoring- her. ’‘There’s another typewriter about,” Miss Agatha thought aloud., “I. believe it’s in ffie basement storeroom. I’m sure it was put there when it came back from ffie repair man’s. Allegra!” I do not think she saw ffie move­ment I made to check her call. I had small desire to face ffie scorn-! ful girl again. It hurt too much and, at the same time, angered me. But in an instant there she stood in the doorway. teoking at-her aunt and, plainly; not. ,recognizing my exist-: 'ence. Sight of her smoldering niece made Miss Agatha revise her pun-: pose. j- j “My dear,”' she said briskly, "I have, already .apologized to Davia tor what we both thought when,hi* friend’s, letter came this morning.”!Sie paused. Allegra’s face ,did not stirnor did her.eyes move. I fum­ bled for some-word to end this; or) deal and found nothing.• .-! “Why should I apologize?” the girl asked. "So ffiat I can read about ij in tomorrow’s Press?”- ; ; If she could hurt ine so, I might be able to reach her. I said, as eas­ ily as I could: “News, must be either interesting or important.” I was sorry then, for she looked Si me, caught her breath and fled.' tTO BE CONTINUED) I FIRST-AID to the - AILING HOUSE by Roger B. Whitman (® Roger B. Whitman—WNU Service.! Floor, tor Game-room. QUESTION: I have an ambition to make a game-room in my basement. The floor presents a prob­ lem, and it is not bone-dry. My preference would be for an oak floor, i if ffiat would be practical. What do ’ you think? *■< Answer: Before going to ffie labor and expense of putting down a real­ ly good floor in your basement, you should make very sure ffiat there will be no leaks either through ffie foundation walls or through ffie floor. This important point should be looked into by a competent mason. My own preference would be for asphalt tiles as a suitable flooring rather than wood. (These tiles are not linoleum, which would rot in a cellar.) . A dealer in linoleum, how­ ever, can give you information on this product. Jt you prefer an oak floor, ffie lowest layer should be of concrete. On top of this put a layer of liquid asphalt, and over this a layer of heavy waterproof felt. On this put another layer of asphalt, all of which will make the floor waterproof. You can then lay a wood floor. The boards should be bedded in asphalt, Which will hold them in position and add to the waterproofing. Whatever flooring you decide upon, ffie work should not be attempted by any one who is not.ffioroughly fitted to do the job. It requires special knowledge and experience. Painting Plasterboard. I Question: I have just completed a room in my attic, making the par­ titions of plasterboard. I should like to paint ffie board; shall I have to put on some kind of a size or priming coat before I paint? Answer: The way to paint your plasterboard is a s follows: First, see that the surface is absolutely clean, diy and free from dust. Use a sizing coat or primer, made by mixing equal parts of a good grade of varnish size and ready-mixed paint of the desired color; or with white lead thinned with turpentine and tinted to suit. Before sizing the surface, apply a coat of primer over ffie joints and nailheads, and stipple with a stubby brush. When dry, apply a coat of primer uniformly and carefully over the surface. Let priming coat dry at least 24 hours, then touch up any “flat spots” and let dry before ap­ plying ffie first coqt of paint. Insulation tor House in Mountains. Question: I own a house in ffie mountains, clapboard outside and unfinished inside. I contemplate in­ sulating ffie walls and roof and fin­ ishing ffie inside. What materials do you suggest? Answer: For the walls and for ffie roof between ffie rafters you could use any one of several kinds of blanket insulation enclosed in a waterproof jacket. These materials are made of the proper, size to fit in ffie spaces between studs and rafters. With ffie walls thus, insu­ lated, ffie inside finish could be plasterboard. If you want more in­ sulation, use stiff insulating boards. Loose Fire Brick. Question: How can fire brick be kept from becoming loose? I built an outdoor fireplace with fire clay mortar between ffie bricks. - Biit after building a fire in it, ffie clay became hard and then cracked, so that ffie bricks loosened. Answer: You used mortar in too thick a bed. In laying up fire brick, spread a little thin mortar on the surface, put the next brick in-posi­tion, and then rub it against ffie lower brick to bring it into' con­ tact. The mortar is not intended to separate ffie bricks, as in ordi­ nary brickwork, but only to fill in ffie roughnesses. Drainboard Surface. Question: In my house, which is in process of construction, I have ffie choice of a chromium trimmed linoleum drainboard or a drainboard made of tile. I am undecided be­ tween ffie two, and would like to know your opinion as to which is more serviceable. tknswer: My preference would be for linoleum. For one thing, ffie softer surface will not be so dam­ aging to china and glassware. For another thing, cement between tiles will stain and is difficult to clean. A few months ago, in making ffiat same choice, I picked linoleum. #loor of Swimming PooL Question: In making a swimming pool by damming a brook, would it be better to make ffie floor of sand or gravel? Answer: My preference would be for sand. In building your dam, you should provide means for draining the pool when cleaning becomes necessary. Creosote Odor. Question: In getting rid of ter­ mites, we have replaced our cellar joists and coated the’ new joists and ffie cellar ceilings with creosote. Ilie odor is quite strong, especially in damp weather. How can we get rid of it? Answer: The odor of creosote is so penetrating ffiat it is difficult to subdue. Wiping with vinegar will probably help. The only paint ffiat might be of use, and it is doubtful, Is aluminum paint. Strong ventila- tion.through ffie cellar is your best remedy..

To no purpose. Uncle came— and went—and the parrot was1 dumb. Bert seized the- bird by the throat. “Say ‘Hello, Uncle,’ or. I’ll wring your bloomin’ neck,” he, roared. And when silence continued he, twisted the bird’s neck and threw' it into the fowl pen. Queer squawks drew him to the fowl pen next morning. On the ground were three dead hens. The: parrot had a fourth by the neck,: shaking him and shouting: “Say,' .!Hello, Uncle,’ or I’ll wring your bloomin’ neck.” •ssa sa sssr* YOUR child same expert care used when UIRlinER At the first nga of a chest cold—the Quiatupletsp Uiroats and chests are robbed with Children's MUd Mnsterole —a product made to promptly relieve the DISTIffiSS of children's colds and resulting bronchial and croupy coughs.
