A few months ago more than 15 millions of young men were com. peiled by law to register for com­ pulsory military service. Of course, no American citizen will argue that we do not need to prepare for de­ fense, but what are those young men going to get for their services? Many thousands of those young men have fought their way through high school and have started in college; thousands of them have Se. cured comfortable jobs; they have willing to start, or begin at the bottom round of the ladder and fight their way up, round by round; hundreds and thousands of them are just tTying to get started in life; a large per cent of them have re­ fused government relief because they have that fighting determine, nation iu them that was handed down to them by their forefathers that they can succeed in life. We are wondering if those young men, the very cream of our conn try—the men that will make up the world of tomorrow—think they are getting a square deal; or if they have equal right or opportunity, when they have to have their hopes Mastered am? go into milittfry train­ ing for the sum ot 7 0 cents to $1 per day, while the rest of us are permitted to stay at home and en­ joy all the pleasures of home life, work eight hours per day at a fancy price, or work at the camps if we want to and make more money for one hour’s work than those boys make in one day; and hot only that, we can go on a strike if we want to, but not so with those young men— they have to go. W hynot draftmyself and every other able bodied man and make us build those camps, boaots and planes at the same rate of pay those young men are getting, and do away with the thousands' upon thousands of necktie jobs and give that money to those boys for their services? Oftenwe read in the papers a- bout the'large sums of money that are being out to the unemployed, commonly called rocking • chair money, but'vou do not see verv much said about how much money is being paid to those young men for their services, and the sacrifices they are having to make Often we hear people, sajr those young men should be proud, to pre pare themselves to defend their country. We cannot see why any­ one would think that a young man, even though he has no family, should he proud to give up bis -job, or give up bis school lite, or give up the little business he has started, and give up his home life, which is as dear to him as home is to any­ one else, and prepare tc make can­ not fodder for the measly sum of 7 0 cents per day, while the rest of us stay at hame and work 3 6 or 4 0 hours per week at fancy prices, and play the balance of time. We believe that anyone that thinks it a great honor tor make those sacrifices and ,work, for 70 cents per day can get a position with Uncle Sam'anyjtime. Really, do you think those?young men are getting a squal'deal? To toy way of thinking this is at together unfair. I would like to say to those young men—men, al­ ways be a man, and here is hoping that you will all come back home better men, ready to take up the fight in life agaiu; although, be cause of the sacrifices you have had to make you to start at the bottom again. But you cau succeed it. you have a 'determination,- zeal and courage to succeed in life.—J. A Gardner,' in SalisbttrvJPost. BUYER MEETS SELLER 1S O ' J R A D O ■. J M N S .. . Happened In 1855. J. B. Smith, of this city, contri­ butes the following story to the Town Topics column; About 1855 my father, together with the late Major Jethro Brown and the major’s widowed sister, Mrs. Willis Hall, moved from Cas­ well county to Uie" southern part of Davie county where they had pur. chased a large tract of land. They- brought witb_ them a number of Negro slaves, and established the plantation later known as “Pros, pect Hill.” / Most of the land was in the ori* ginal forest and abounded, in wild game.

When he came home for Christmas holi­ days he asked to be allowed to use the blind, so father loaded up the muzzle-loader shot-gun and took Willis down before daylight and left him to await the arrival of the tnrkeys. A boutsunupfathersays he heard a terrific explosion, so he started down the path toward the blind and met Willis coming back with a very bloody face. The old muzzle-loader had kicked and cut quite a gash in his forehead. Willis said; "Uncle John, I was afraid you did not load Betsy heavy enough, so I rammed in another load of shot.” After dressing bis head they went back to the blind and. found thir. teen dead turkeys. The local paper at Mocksville in its next issue carried this item: Young Willis Hall has broken all shooting records to date. With one shot he killed thirteen turkeys and and crippled a goose.” —Twin-City Sentinel. Hit-Run Drive. The hit-run automobile driver is a familar phenomenon to our news­ paper readers of today.

The defense program and the accompanying rise in non-agri- cultural employment was cited as a help to the situation. Plans for the general agricultural program for 1941 were discussed by J. L.

Br Congressman Carroll Reece The Blunt and unequivocal state, ments made in Chicagoon the even­ ing of January 5 by Former Gov. ernor PhlUip F. LaFollette, under the auspices of the American First Committee, have attracted a great deal of attention in-Washington. “ Watch out lest our great coun­ try get into a '‘thirty-years war’ and, once in, then find ourselves a- Ione with the impossible task of fighting the whole Europe and Asia, and. fighting not in this hemisphere where we can be supreme, but fight* ing with expeditionary forces, 4 ,0 0 0 miles away in' Europe and 6 ,0 0 0 miles away in Asia. , There is a' block of optnion in Britain and the high places,” 'Former Governor LaFoIIetve fur ther warned, “ which has closer ties with Giermany than with the Unit ed States.

According to Secretary of Agri­ culture Wickard, agriculture is weli prepared to play its part in national defense. There are adequate sup­ plies of foodstuffs and plenty of soil fertility to meet any call that may come to the American farmer. Much of the credit for that must go to the agricultural marketing co­ operatives, which haye done more than any other agency over the years to put the farmer on a business-like production basis. They have done a fine Work in promoting better meth­ ods of soil utilization, of .harvesting, of shipping, etc. They have attemp­ ted notonls to obtain a better re­ turn for the farmer, but to assure the. consumer of a dependable auo- ply of farm crops at a reasonable figure—Ex.

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WfTU Service.) N EW YORK.—In Goldfield, Nev., when the camp was going strong we staged a “battle royal,” with 10 men slugging each other, the Denny Must Have tVgCt°t^ e g Studied Decorum man to stay In Code Duello «« his *eet The referee was an old desert rat, who didn’t like to stay out of a good fight. Somehow he got mixed up in the milling and flattened the three re­ maining contenders. One wonders at the self-control of George V. Denny Jr., under similar provocation. With no holds barred and no punches pulled, America’s Town Meeting of the Air is getting more like the battle royal and less and less like its antecedent Chautauqua meeting. In the melee over aid to Britain, in which Verne Marshall was the storm center, it looked as though Mr. Denny might be pulled in any minnte. But he wasn’t, and with rising popular blood pressure and tensing vocal chords, he gives a ' marvelous weekly exhibition of keeping cool and watchful, and giving everybody a break. That was the main idea of the town meeting, which he organized, and now directs. He began his New York career as an actor in Paul Green’s “Pu­ litzer prize-winning” play, “In Abra­ ham’s bosom.” In the University of North Carolina, he became a mem­ ber of the “Carolina Play makers.” After his graduation, he was instruc­ tor for dramatic productions at Chapel hill, which experience may have contributed to the uniformly good showmanship of the town meet­ ing.Mr. Denny was worried about the rising power of pressure groups, in­ dustrial strife, intolerance and other such matters, and these concerns directed him to an association with the League for Political Education, of which he later became director. The Town Hall of the Air was a nat­ ural extension of the work of the league, founded b^Dr. Denny in 1935. IT MAY sound far-fetched to link the Monday morning hangover with Britain’s chances for victory, but such things can be, the way one „ , _ r . thing leads toPerhapsFigs ^ otSertteae May Be Gathered days. In the From Thistles waning days of the prohibi- ition era, Dr. Norman Jolliffe, an up­ land-coming young New York med­ ico, made a timely study of the bod- lily and psychological aftermath of bathtub gin. In translating “hang­ over” into “polyneuritis,” he discov­ ered that he was studying not nec­ essarily alcoholism, but imperfect diet which lessened a man’s capacity to stand up to his liquor. These imperfections or inade­ quacies of modem diet led to studies of vitamins as possible correctives, with Dr. Jolliffe’s later conclusion that plenty of B-I would restore caloric unbalance caused by alcohol. He urged liquor manufacturers to slip a small jolt of crystaline B-I in every bottle. It wasn’t that he was trying to help citizens keep up with their drinking. He was just taking homo sapiens as he is and trying to give him a hand. Moving on with their vitamin studies, Dr. Jolliffe and bis odl- leag^es find Mars just as dura­ ble as barleycorn, and an even tougher antagonist, with vita­ mins, again useful to buttress resistance. So here’s the “Vita­ mins for Britain” coifimittee, With Dr. Jolliffe participating in its effort to get “millions of vita­min tablets” over there to bol­ ster the “ Sceptered Isle” against the effects of narrowed and un­ diversified diet, nervous tension and heebie-jeebies. Is it possible that prohibition was a labora­ tory to turn up a trick to save democracy? Dr. Jolliffe, a New.Yorker, was graduated from the New York uni­ versity medical college in 1926. His !vitamin researches gained him membership in learned societies ; and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Heis chief of medical service of the psy­ chiatric division of Bellevue hospi­ tal, and associate professor of medi­ cine at New York university. TlTHEN John D. Biggers was ap- I pointed to organize and man- iage Uie unemployment census in '1937, he invited criticism. “The more stones thrown the better,” he said. He now has a job both more important and more vulnerable, as director of the production division in the.new national defense office of production management. Mr. Big- gers thinks the critical impulse is a sign of healthful public interest. Since 1930, he has been president of the Libby-Owens-Ford Glass com­ pany. . $10,000,000 Cruise Ship Strikes Reef View of the $10,000,000 luxury liner, Manhattan, fast In the grip of a sand bar or uncharted coral reef, 250 yards off West Palm Beach, Fla.

The three are “Bad Man,” w ith W allace Beery, “Maisie W as-a .Lady/ and “Flight Command,” a navy picture, with Rohert Taylor and the talented and beautiful Ruth Hussey. It was a busman’s holiday, in a way, as Mr. Ruben had to see all the new plays. Mrs. Ruben (Vir­ ginia Bruce) was -with him, but wasn’t on exhibition as so many Hollywood stars are when they visit New York. ' _ He was enthusiastic about the co­ operation given him by the navy during the making of “Flight Com­ mand,” and also about Robert Tay­ lor and the tremendous handicap he-had to overcome because he was launched as a handsome and ro­ mantic lad who bowled women over on sight. When somebody mentioned the possible effect on Hollywood of this country’s entering - the war he predicted that men would join up in droves. Ruben himself formerly held a reserve commission in the army, and has been-offered’one in the navy.— Just as Cary Grant seems to bob up in practically every picture late­ly, so James Hilton seems to be the au­ thor of ,the moment.

This is said to be one of the most exciting “perfect crime” stories to be brought to the screen So Miss Berman is in for a lot of horror; she has “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” as her next assign­ ment, with Spencer Tracy. George Raft, poker-faced as usual, almost lust his aloofness when he saw “Pal Joey” recently. “Pal Jo­ ey” is a musical show with a real plot, and is currently one of the hits of the New York theatrical sea­ son. The hero is a master of cere­ monies who dances superbly, and the role is- right up Raft’s alley. It’s said that the next day he im­ plored Warner Brothers to buy the screen rights for him. Certainly it seems a natural. Tbe only difficulty is that, to get by,the Hays office, the plot and the hit songs would have to be discarded; in fact, there wouldn’t be much left but the title. — *— Remember Billy Lee, the appeal­ ing boy actor who scored such a hit in “The Biscuit Eat­ er”?

Fashion-Wise Woinen Take Up Crocheting With Real Zest By CHERIE NICHOLAS \ \ r HEN you pick up your news- ’ * paper these days, or flip through the pages of your favorite magazine, more often than not you’ll see pictures of stage, radio and motion picture stars, college girls, club women and debutantes, all busy at a new hobby—crochet­ ing! A crocheting fad is sweeping the country. Crochet hooks are being wielded by busy fingers from Maine to California, from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. The' vogue has taken such hold that now­ adays when a deb reaches into her handbag, it’s probably for a crochet' hook rather than a lipstick. Mind you, it’s not just the home girls interested in housewifely arts who are crocheting. This time it’s the college girls whose campus- bound trunks, returning from-mid­ winter homecomings, fairly bulged with unfinished sweaters and blouses and accessory items into which, no doubt, they will be put­ ting the final stitches in. the lecture room, pacing busy hands to busy minds. In the city thoroughfares it’s the debutantes who are crochet­ing in taxicabs speeding to and fro in their round of social engage­ ments. Stage and radio stars are at it too, while they wait their cues, all of which means that crocheting has definitely reached the glamour stage. That crochet has come “in” as a style of high importance is big news from the fashion angle. The famous designer Schiaparelli may be back of it all, for when she ar­ rived some months ago on the At­ lantic clipper she wore a crocheted collar,. crocheted gloves and listen to this—crocheted stockings! The latter were very smart looking and created a sensation because of their unusualness. Crocheted jewelry is another unique item, especially the lei flow­ er necklace with bracelet to match. The idea of stiffly-starched small crochet wings worn in the hair has spread like wildfire. Young girls are especially like these wings be­ cause it takes only a jiffy to make them and they are different and 'much nfore interesting, than the tra­ ditional ribbon bows they have b^en wearing. A miniature crochet shawl to complete a sweater and plaid- skirt outfit is another favorite ac­ cessory. At exciting style previies for 'spring the emphasis on crochet fash­ ions . is unmistakable.- Ideas are iSiich', that clever women at home will >be quick to add crocheted items to their .own wardrobes. For ex- ampler, insets of crochet in trian­ gles, squares or circles, also yoke tops, add style touches to the new pastel wbol frocks.- Pockets and belts of crochet and jackets with crocheted sleeves bespfeak the high- style significance of this new vogue for handwork. Milliners are on the alert, too. They are making snug crochet tur­ bans with dramatic twists and drapes of crochet to give front height. .The white crochet hat at the top of the left in the illustra­ tion has gone patriotic in that an American eagle Spreads its wings in a gay crochet motif. To the right (above) a casual wide-brimmed hat has its crown embellished with an applique or floral crochet done in green cotton thread. The smart cro­ cheted pillbox hat shown below has a close-fitting snood for anchorage and “style.” (Released by W estern New spaper Union.) Lapel Gadgets I Jewel gadgets continue to'flourish on midseason jacket lapels. With the discarding of burdensome win­ ter fur coats comes evidence of the importance attached to suits for midseason and early spring wear. With suits in the limelight, then it is that the gadgets so popularly worn on jacket lapels will come into their own with renewed emphasis. While women are willing and eager to discard their fur topcoats during the interval that spans winter and spring, they still cling to the touches of flattering fur that so dramatized their smart turbans. In the pic-., ture an enormous gold-and-topaz pin is worn on the lapel of a mossy green wool long-coat. There will be considerable topaz and amber jew^; elry in evidence during the midsea­ son months and early spring in line with the trend toward yellows and beiges and sunburnt tongs'that are' sponsored for spring. Emblems Important Trimming Feature The new costumes and sweaters are emblazoned with emblems. Some are embroidered, others formed of jewels, beads and se­quins. The casual1’ sports blouse flourishes a nautical emblem on its sleeve or perhaps on the pocket. Sai­ lor blouses with insignia on the sleeve are “last word” fashion news for spring. Your best dress should have an imposing emblem embroidered in jewels and metal beads. Your hat looks patriotic with a jeweled " or - embroidered eagle spreading its wings on crown or brim. Your scarf should carry a cunningly contrived emblem, and ybur‘‘hankies” toot' The story goes on and on throughout the spring style program in endless and fasci­nating ways. Designers Match Hats With Tailored Tweeds Designers think so highly of matching-ihe tailored suit with a tai- lored-hat of identical material that' they are stressing the idea in ad­ vance spring fashions. When you buy your suit ask for a two-some that includes the matching hat.'

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYIcHooi Lesson By HAHOLD L. LUNDQUISTt D. D* D ean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by W estern Newspaper Union.) S Lesson for February 9 ' Lesson subjects and Scripture .texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of ReUgious Education; used by permission, THE CHRISTIAN’S ATTITUDE - TOWARD POSSESSIONS LESSON TEXT—Luke 16:10-15, J9-S3. GOUDEN TEXT—Ye cannot serve God and mammon.—Luke 16:13. ’ “In the service” is an expression much used today. Every communi­ ty has young men in the service of their country. But they are not the only “service men,” for the fact is that every man and woman serves under some authority. Our lesson today reminds us that our attitude toward our possessions determines both character and destiny. We de­ cide whether they shall rule us or we, shall, rule them. I. Who Is Yonr Master—God or Gold? Xou Decide! (w. 10-15). The decision here is of the “either —or” variety. “Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (which means “ribhes”). Money itself is neither good nor bad. It is the use to which it is put that determines whether it is to bless or to destroy. Rightly gained and rightly used, money is.an honor, to the man who has it, and will, through him, become a means- of blessing. On the other hand, money which controls a man will blast his own soul and those of .others round- him. Who decides which it shall be? You—and you alone. Here wecome to the central truth of the matter! “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much ” 1 (v. 10). We generally read that as though it said, “He that is now faith­ ful in a little will later have an op­ portunity to be faithful in much.” That may be true, but what Jesus said here was that he “is faithful in much.” The point is that the man who is faithful in the much shows that life attitude by being faithful in the lit­ tle. That is, only the m an who is right in the great matter of his re­ lationship with God will be the ruler over his possessions for the glory of God and the good of his fellow man. Someone may say, “I don’t be­ lieve that.” Well, you are in bad company (see w . 14,15). The Phar­ isees, who loved money, who-were self-righteous, and whose attitude was an abomination in the sight of God, derided the words of Jesus. , If you don’t like that kind of com­panions, I invite you to come over on God’s side. D. Where Will You Spend Eter­ nity? Yonr Life Decides (w. 19-23).Our life beyond the grave is de­ termined by our life on this side of death. Yes, we know that eternal life is a gift of God received by faith in Christ as Saviour,, quite apart from our own works or our merit. But let us not forget that this means far more than uttering a few words of profession or going through a formula'. The man who really turns to Christ in saving faith becomes a new creature; he is bom again (I Pet. 1:23). That means that he walks “in newness of life” (Rom. 6:4). And thus his life in this world determines both by decision for Christ and daily living for Him that he will, like Lazarus, be received into eternal blessedness. Sad to say, the opposite is also true. Living as the rich man did, for self, will bring judgment in the world to come. There is no indica­ tion that he was especially wicked, but only, that he loved his money, revelled in the flamboyant display of his wealth (v. 19), and had no thought for others (v. 21). Here again, the point is that these out­ ward deeds were the expression of a heart attitude against God. Death came to both of these men.- It will come to all of us, unless the Lord returns to take us to Himself. It is not a pleasant matter to think of death, but only the unintelligent will fail to recognize the coming of that day. When it cornes, it may be too late to make any real life decisions. Now is the acceptable time. Today is the day of salvation. The verses immediately following our lesson in chapter 16 indicate that the decision of men concerning their relationship to God is not de­ pendent on the miraculous, but on moral and spiritual truth. The man who says he would believe if he could only see God perform a mira­ cle is only evading the issue. Verse 31 says that the man who rejects God’s Word does so because he wants to, not because he needs to be convinced by a miracle. We Sleep to Wake One who never turned his back, b»jt marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break; Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would tri- 'umph; Held we 'fall to rise, are baffled to fight better.Sleep to wake. —Robert Browning. Know Xonrself' The sage knows what is 'in him, but makes no display; he respects himself, but seeks not honor for him­self.—Lao Tze. FEBRUARY HOSTESS? TREAT GUESTS TO A PATRIOTIC TEA (See Becipes Below.) FEBRUARY IS A PARTY MONTH February is a party month; ev­ ery hostess calendar should have EEBRDAeY the twelfth, the ~ “ •" ... . fourteenth, and . » the twenty-second1 J ♦ S 6 7 4 ringed in red! 91Ol]0j3^1S And this year, 1617 IS 19 with the renewed emphasis on pa- * triotism which the world crisis has brought, there’s every reason to make Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthdays occasions for more patriotic partying than us­ ual. No holiday in February lends it­ self to a tea quite like Washington’s birthday. But instead of tea, serve coffee with squares of hot, fragrant gingerbread as you see it in the pic­ ture above. The spicy, squares are much in keeping with the day, for Washington’s mother was said to have been -famous for her ginger­ bread. Make it by your own special recipe or use one of the packaged gingerbread mixes. AU that you will need for decorations is a bowl of flowers and ,the silhouettes of George and Martha Washington mounted on white paper and hung to form a background for the tea table. As a part of the food for the- oc­ casion, serve a minted pear salad with small deviled hot breads. These are tender, crunchy biscuit hearts with the top section cut out to show the deviled ham filling. Let the bev­ erage be a deep red cranberry punch and garnish each cup with a cube of pineapple stuck on a pick. If you wish to have a second course, small cakes or ice cream molds will finish the menu in fine style. A sugar heart cake is a dessert which any hostess could serve with pride when a few friends come in for Valentine’s day evening. Fine white cake is put together with a creamy chocolate filling, and the cake-top is decorated with confec­ tioners’ sugar sifted through a lace doily with a heart motif on it. When the doily is removed, the design re­ mains, etched neatly in sugar on the cake. Cranberry Punch.

Place lace doily made with heart motif over top of cake. Fasten securely to top of cake with toothpicks. Sprinkle sur­ face generously and evenly'with con­ fectioners’ sugar. Brush off excess with pastry brush, then . remove picks and carefully lift off pattern. The design should be neatly etched’ in confectioners’ sugar. Chocolate Cream Filling.

This Is nothing un­ usual Thisstoreliasneverttseda line of advertising in a Republican newspaper. This is something unu­ sual. Most merchants want to reach the trading public, regardless of politics. We sometimes wonder if this merchant wants any Repub- licans to trade with him. Everybody is in favor of raisiog funds to help fight infantile para­ lysis, but many people are opposed to the manner in which some of the money is raised. There ate many good people who are opposed to staging dances to raise funds for any canse. If we are not mistaken a preacher's daughter was put on a committee to sell tickets to a dance for this cause, which was no doubt very embatrasslng to the pastor. One of these days some one is go­ ing to be killed or crippled in our town. The young people skate and ride bicycles on the sidewalks in the heart of the business district. Sometimes they slow down for corners and sometimes they don't. So far as we know, there is no law against using the sidewalks around the square, by the bicycle riders and skaters. Pedestrians are warn ed to give a yell or blow a horn be­ fore turning corners. Wendell Willkie, who was the candidate for president on the Re­ publican ticket last fall, has been spending a week or two in Eng Iaod looking over that war-torn country. Mr. Willkie is coming home this week, and will no doubt appear before Congress and tell them what is happening across the big pond. AU of our people want to see Great Britain smash Hitler­ ism. Some even want this conn try to declare war against the Axis powers, and send our boys to Eu­ rope to fight, bleed and die. Others want us to furnish all aid short of declaring war. It is up to the peo­ ple to let Congress know just where they stand. The world is in the greatest turmoil ever witnessed by man, and the end is not in sigat. No one can even guess what is go. ing to happen this year. The whole world seems to be in a fight ing spirit, with nobody seeming to know or care what if is all about. The great majority of our people are opposed to this country sending troops across the sea. Governor Broughton went on re­ cord last year as'being in favor of taking the sales tax off about every­ thing that comes under the actual necessities of life in the eating line. Just what our lawmakers are going to do about exempting foods, is not known. The legislature is go­ ing to be asked to pension aged school teachers, to raise their salar- es ten per cent, to increase the school term from eight to nine months, and to add a rath grade to all schools. Just how all these things can be accomplished with­ out putting on extra taxes, is bard to understand. It is also said that some of the pie-eaters in Raleigh are going to ask that the number of highway patter-rollers be in­ creased. Up to this good hour . nothing has been done. Governor Hoey did manage to get the safari, es of a few office-holders raised be­ fore retiring from office, which act has been severely criticised by men in both parties. We wilt alt hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Bixby News. Several in our community have been IE with Au. Tbere are also a nnmber of cases of whooping cough.

VAN DE W ATEil CHAPTER XVI—Continued —17— "You’re not,” Miss Agatha asked Slowly, "a very generous young man, are you?” “I have too little,” I told her, still tingling, “to be generous. That, I suppose, is why I fight to keep it. I’m so far beneath the Pagets—” "Don’t talk nonsense,” she bade. I shrugged, deliberately provoking my hurt. “So. much that is—uncomfortable to me, is nonsense to a Paget,” I answered. She grinned mockingly. “How proletarian! You care less about Iifring yourself than pulling others down?” “Let’s drop it,” I said and flipped my cigarette into the wastebasket with needless force. “Willingly,” she agreed and laid hold of the rim of her chair’s wheels. “Will you stay to lunch, David?” “No,” I said ungraciously, “I have an engagement. With Codirane of the Press,” I added to rub it in.“I see,” said Miss Agatha calm­ ly. “When you come back this aft­ernoon, we’ll get the typewriter from the basement. And before you go out, you might see that whatever is kindling in the wastebasket is ex­ tinguished. We’ve enough on our hands without adding arson.” I smelled scorching paper and bent over the basket. “Annie,” said Miss Agatha, mov­ ing toward the door, “should have emptied it, but when the police come in the door reason flies out—” “Wait a’minute,” I begged. There was a single balled sheet of paper In the wastebasket and the tip of my castaway cigarette lay on it. I' picked up the crumpled wad and ah odd feeling, half inspiration,- half theory, excited me. My fingers trembled as I undid the ball. It was a half-completed letter, broken off in mid-sentence. AsT read it I could see Grove, blindly in Ioye as twenty-odd can be, hammering out reproach and devotion to the woman who had not kept their tryst. I could see him look up, where the typing ended, and mark that a win­ dow in the Ferriter flat was bright. Ione had returned. She-, had not failed him. He had tom the paper from the typewriter, cast it into the basket.and rushed, headlong, into disaster. I handed the crumpled sheet to Miss Agatha without a word and she, too, read it through be­ fore she spoke. “Poor boy,” she said at last, and there was tenderness in her usually brisk voice. “Poor, passionate, fool­ish Grove.” I had expected something more from her than this, though even to me the missive was more pitiful and less ridiculous than most letters of its sort. “But don’t you ‘ see,” I asked, “what this means?” She turned to­ ward me and replied with equal tartness. “See? Of course I see? This is what put my nephew’s fingerprints bn those typewriter keys. This is the letter he said he had been writ­ ing. That note the police found on him was written by Everett* bent on suicide, earlier. This merely proves that Grove has told the truth. It seems more of a surprise to you, David, than it does to me.” She read it over again with a crooked little smile and folded it with gentle hands.I suggested: “Shan’t we turn it over to Shan­ non. It proves—” “Shannon?” she repeated with odd Indecision. “I don’t know. Itseems to me a rather sacred thing. You see, no one ever wrote such a letter to me.- Let me think it ..over, Da- yid. We’ll talk of it later.”She rolled herself away without another wofd. I looked 'at the clock. It was almost time for my appoint­ment with Cochrane. CHAPTER XVH The food before us cooled while I talked and Cochrane listened. Like the Ancient Mariner’s stooge, Jerry had to take it and like it: I had come to the beanery to Tell All. My mind had been partly laundered by my confession to KQss Agatha. I wanted to complete the cleansing by holding back nothing from Jer­ ry. There was too much darkness for me to increase it by further reti­ cence. It. was bitter, under his -mild and trustful regard, to .lay’bare things I might have told Ioqg ago, but I went through with'it. ,I saw his eyebrows go up, and'(ip, as I told of Grove’s earlier visit to' the Fer­riter apartment, of the' voice I had heard in Mino’s and, ,finally, of Duke’s letter. Then I lgaped back, feeling empty but easier’ and Coch­ rane looked from me to the salt shaker he fingered. “Duke,” he said, still watching it, “was sore, of course, over the skin­ ning we’ve handed him. He doesn’t know bow much worse it might have been, if—” He stuck. I said, “If I hadn’t held out on you. Go ahead and tell-me what I am. I won’t argue it.”He .looked at me again and gave his beaming smile. “A guy who’s That Way is never quite normal. I might have done worse myself. You have large ideas, Lochinvar.”“Listen,” I told. him. “I’ve got one idea. That is to get that noble- and highbred sap out of this jam and then fade out of the picture.” “I get you.” He grinned. “With a sad renunciatory gesture that will live forever in her memory.” I checked what I started to say. “Go ahead,” I answered. “Rub it in. I rate it." . He still played with the shaker. He asked at last: “So the old lady didn’t have Win- terbottom show you the-door?” “No. All I have to do is help her get her nephew out of the coop and substitute the murderer.” “Which should keep you busy,” Jerry said, “at least until day after tomorrow. Would you like any help?” I did not understand him. “I .-.mean,” he went on, “is this just a personal, or a. professional conference? Co I forget all you’ve told, me, or do we work it out to­gether?” — ------ His generosity threw me off bal­ance. ■ “If you still want me to play ball with you,” I began, “after—” “I don’t quite see how I’m to fin­ ish it off solo.” He seemed relieved and went on more briskly. “Since we’re still accomplices, Fve got something to show you.” He pulled from his pocket a creased and glazed placard, bear­ ing the picture of four men in tights and spangles, posed beneath'a good deal of dangling cordage. Below the half-tone was the legend “The Four I picked up the crumpled wad. Flying Ferriters.” Cochrane gave it to me and said: “Handle it gently. I got it from Henkel,' old-time vaudeville agent, and I’ve got to return it. Recog­ nize anyone?" I did and started to speak. I. looked more I closely -and at last faced Jerry’s expectant grin. “Either of the two middle ones,” I said at last, “could have been Lyon, Ferriter, ten years ago.” “Excellent, Watson,” Cochrane crooned. “My own idea. The one on the left, Henkel tells me, was Lyon Ferriter. His neighbor was his cousin, Andrew Horstman. The other Ferriters werd named Levine and Pappas. They were semi-head­ liners in the old two-a-day era.” ..“Proving what?” I asked him, folding the placard carefully and returning it: “Not a thing in the world,” Jerry answered, “except that your friend used to be the daring young man on the flying trapeze. Henkel has the memory of an elephant but even he doesn’t know' what happened next. He does say that Lyon and his cousin were very intelligent, for acrobats. When the movies ruined Art, and the Four Flying Ferriters flew apart, Henkel thinks that Horst­ man went into acting and played in stock for a while and that Lyon went to Alaska."“Part of which,” I told him, “checks.” “It does more than that,” Coch­ rane drawled with the sleepy air that was his mask for excitement. “It practically proves that the Horstman who joined the Ferriters, Lyon and lone, in their honky-tonk, or whatever, in Alaska was their cousin. And he, if you recall, went out looking for gold with them. They found it and lost Horstman. He never came back.”“Well?” I asked, at last, for he seemed to have run down, yet I knew the pause was for dramatic' effect. " “Neither,” Cochrane Crooned, “did Lyon and lone.” ■ He beamed. I said, “All right; spring it.!’ “They never came back to their cozy little shack,” Jerry went on. “That’s pure Robert Service, eh? Ione and her brother showed up Uie following spring in'Fairbanks, which is a ‘considerable hike from Tanana Crossing, where their place stood. “They claimed that Horstman got lost in a- blizzard and- he wasn’t there to say he didnit. They, had samples with them that started a' stampede. • Lyon went in ' with • it, and sold his claim. When he came back, he and sister went down-river, took steamer-for the states, and van­ished- They left So fast', they forgot to do anything about -,the dump,at Tanana Crossing. This liras sold last year for taxes. And, thanks to the assiduous Fairbanks correspondent of the Press, there you are.” “Where?” I asked. Cochreme chuckled. - “It all adds up,” he admitted, “to whatever you choose to make it. It’s background on the guy you and the old gal have elected murderer, any­way.’’, I said, “It’s also a problem in relationship. Everett used to.be a Horstman. Then he wasn’t brother to Lyon and lone. He' may have been^-’’ I bogged down. “Brother or. something to the Horstman-the blizzard-is-alleged, to have abolished," Cochrane finished for me. ’It’ll take a genealogist to figure it out, eh? .And the authority on the subject broke his nieck last night. That’s too bad-. We- need him.” “No,” I told him, “what we really need is Lyon’s weakness. That’s what Miss Agatha Paget wants.” I went over my recent talk with her. Cochrane ate and then forgot Iiis food to sit listening, apparently half asleep. “You know,” he said when I end­ ed, "that’s a pretty unusual crone. I’d like to meet her." “Why not?” I asked. He had been too generous for me to hold back now. The question shook him out of his drowsiness. “Do you mean it?” “I’ll phone and see,” I said, ris­ing, - “But you’ll have to keep her out of the papers.” . “Oke,” Jerty beamed. “It’ll be enough of a thrill just to get inside the Morello.” At the telephone, I told Miss Aga­tha I was bringing Cochrane up to see her. If I had asked permission, I think she might have forbidden it, but I followed up with persuasion and reassurance until she consented and promised at my suggestion to clear our way through the hostile lobby. She ‘was in the workroom when we entered. She seemed re­ lieved that Jerry had neither horns nor tail and welcomed him serenely. I had grown accustomed to the spirit that dwelt intact in that ^crip­ pled body, but Cochrane was a lit­ tle dazed. The tea-wagon, glass and bottle laden, stoo'd beside the old lady’s wheel chair. “One of the few perquisites of age,” Miss Agatha told us briskly, “is liquor. I hope-you drink, Mr, Cochrane?” “Only,” he said solemnly, “in my social moments.” Miss Agatha’s face changed and she glanced at me. She picked her words: “I had understood that this was a social call.” “It is,” Jerry told her, and she chuckled as she reached for the glasses. We talked and sipped our high­ balls. I watched Cochrane’s reti­ cence melt, and saw the old lady’s stiff face relax. Presently, with his doubt completely gone, Jerry was telling her in a low intimate voice all he had learned from Henkel and the Press’ Fairbanks correspondent, of Lyon’s past. Miis Agatha heard him through, with slowly narrowing eyes. She surveyed the placard Cochrane showed her and looked at it so long that Jerry repeated: “Ferriter is the second man from the left." This seemed to rouse her. “Yes,” she said with forced brisk­ ness, “yes, I see,” and threw off whatever odd abstraction had held her. “He and his neighbor look much alike. So he’s the one who went with his beloved sister to the' Arctic. I do.-.’t think I’m over-inhos­ pitable in wishing they’d stayed there.” “Is she,” CochranerSsked sudden­ ly, ‘.‘his ‘beloved sister’?” Miss Agatha looked at him hard before she spoke. “I’ve seen no birth certificates,” she replied tartly, “but there cer­ tainly is a family resemblance. And he is utterly devoted to her. If he were les's so, my nephew mightn’t be in jail at the moment.” “Because,” Cochrane went on, “I gather from our Fairbanks man—I wish I’d brought along that dispatch —that they quarreled a good deal while they were living at Tanana Crossing.” “Pooh,” said Miss Agatha, “broth-, ers and sisters always quarrel. She was good-looking,.in a regionof few women, and he probably was jeal­ ous.” “Our correspondent’s idea,” Jerry answered, “is just the1 opposite. He. wires that:Lyon objected because she . wasn’t attentive enough to cus­ tomers. After Horstman arrived, there was a blow-up. He and Lyon had a fight. That-was just before the three of then! went prospecting.” “And Horstman didn’t come back,” lfiss Agatha thought aloud, and was silent1 for an ’instant. “Well,” she added, pulling herself together, “Lyon and lone .probably murdered him. There’s nothing te compare with a murder as a solvent or maker of trouble.” . Yet Whoi Cochrane had gone, that part’of his narrative seemed to irri­tate her. She spoke of it while An­ nie rolled-away the tea-wagon. “You’ve seen for yourself,” tbs appealed to me, as though ^she nee* ed endorsement,', “there never WM a more devoted brother than Lyun.*,’ I nodded as the bell rang. (TO BE CQfiTiNVEOl ^ BACK-TALK OF A NEW YORKER: A weekly “liberal” publication re­ ports that James True and Robert Edward . Edmondson have . been forced to stop spreading, their lit­ erary garbage because of a lack of suckers . . . I don’t believe it . . . Another weekly which features pro­ files complaining against 'gossip bases all of its profiles on gossip . . . One of those “Americans” will shortly be shown up as a bloke whose only interest in a peace negotiation is this: If Hitler loses, then heloses his. personal fortune-' of six million dollars, and a bank in the Northeast will fail . . . Nice guy, huh? He doesn’t care what happens to your son’s Iife--So long, as he doesn’t lose his dough! . Senator Wheeler calls everybody who disagrees with him a warmon­ ger. If you criticize Wheeler he is the first to yelp he’s being smeared . . . Wheeler is the gent the Bund indorsed for the Presidency—if he WilUam Rhodes Davis denies ho is peddling erl to the Nazis . . . What’s that erl refinery he admits owning in Hamburg, ■ Germany, used for—killing mosquitoes? . . . Dr. Kingdon, ex-president of the Univ. of Newark, is quoted by the Her- Trib as telling a group that Amer­ ica’s great need is to be “re-dis­ covered” . . . Hmmmm. The Times says editorially that all during the campaign Willkie was ,in favor qt FDR’s foreign policy . . . That’s not so . . . Remember the speeches in which he claimed that FDR was responsible for Munich, and when WillIrig said the Presi­ dent’s foreign policy would ruin this nation? . . . The NewYorkTimes seems to have an abbreviated mem­ory. The Topeka State Journal’s tele­ graph editor, Arthur J. Carruth, 3rd, thought we’d be interested in the following Associated Press word- age which came over that teletype in the Kansas City area: “Editors: New Iehd British Offensive. RAF give Ratzis terrific blasting KX" . . . Ho, hum . . . That’s not the first time we’ve been on the big-time. American ships must not trans­ port war. supplies to Great Britain, or appeasers and other friends of Germany would holler blue murder . . But an American ship loaded with war supplies for Japan (for its war against China), and nobody said anything about that. It hap­ pened in the Port of Corpus Christi, Texas . . . The little boy from Iowa wants peace, too'. . . But he makes speeches before acquitted bomb- makers. Ex-Senator Holt gives out dark hints about the 'people behind the President “who are working secret­ ly to ruin the country” . . .W e can tell Holt in a jiffy who is behind the President—The People! . . . AR the ostriches who insist tha^ Hitler is no danger to America are loud supporters of our defense program . . . If Hitler is no danger—what are they defending us against—a British invasion? Mark Sullivan, the Washington sage, laments that Lindbergh has been smeared by some sections of the press and public . . . That’s too bad . . . Lindbergh can say what he likes—but if you say what you like about Lindbergh, you’re unfair . . . Life says Vain MarshaU has been smeared by the press . . . We wish someone would define the word smear to us . . . It used to mean an unfair and untrue attack. Now it seems to describe any sort of criticism based on facts. G-Men seem to be always in the middle. Senators Norris and Wheel­ er, John L. Lewis, Max Lowenthal (there’s a character that rates be­ ing written up)’ and the commies claim the G-Men have gone too far against subversive groups . . . Con-, gressman Dies claims Uiey haven’t gone far enough . . . Somebody needs a rehearsal. Senator Hiram Johnson is quoted as saying he is no appeaser and “wants to see Hitler whipped and Britain triumphant” . . . Then why is he always blocking and fighting aid to Britain? Tbat new song, “I’m Jerk McGerk from Albuquerque,” reminds me: Whatever became of Montana’s Jake Thorkelson? . . . Do you care to know what became of all those peo­ ple who belittled our pleas to wake up two years ago? . . . They are now wearing tiny . American em­ blems in their coat lapels. The CivU Liberties Union deplores the fact that some freedom of the Nazi-American Bund has been curbed • • .- With the freedom of aU civilization at stake—look at the things they worry about! . . . The Nation and New Republic reveal great concern about the growth of the Trojan Horse in America. They urge something be'done about it . . . But when the G-Men get‘after guys like Harry Bridges,. Earl Browder, et al, these same mags knock the G-Men. 1. What is the rule of noblesse oblige? . ..2. What is the opposite of prolix? 3. What workman used a cant h°°k? . . .4.

C. I was born Febr ary 18. 1889, in Watauga comity, Western North Carolina. Fll be fifty-three years old on my next birthday, Feb. 18. This means that I have through a little more than half a century. In one sense we think of half a cen tury as being a long time, but in another sense it is very short. It doesn’t seem but a little wbile since I was a child playing around my mother’s knees It - doesn’t seem, possible tbat over half a cen­ tury bas come and gone since I first saw the light of day in this old world. It almost seems but yesterday since I went to school the first day as a child, One can scarcely realize tbat it is such a short sp ce of time from childhood to old age. How fast time goesbv! It seems that my pla: mates of the yesterdays ought to be almost chiU drtn yet. But they are not. Those who are living have likewise cross, ed the half century line. Many of them Lave grandchildren. Perhaps sojie of them have great-grand- children. Many of them are hid by the dust of tbe grave. Others hllve long since disappeared and I know' nothing of them today. Time and space has divided us, and we shall never meet again on earth, in all probability. However, I hooe to meet many of them in Heaven some glorious day. Manv things happen in half a century. Great changes take plaee in our own lives and in our homes. We grow from cbilhood to man. hood and womanhood, and from that, to middle age, and from that to old age, if the good Lord spares our lives. There are many shift, ing scenes in our homes, and in the homes and lives of our loved ones, neighbors, and acquai tanees. My old mountain home still stands, yet it doesn't look as it used to. Tbe surroundings are quite differ, ent. Father and mother have both ssed' away. Two sisters have married and reared families, while two remain at the old home place. The community has likewise un­ dergone lots of chianges. The old school house where I first started to school, and where I obtained most of my schooling, and where I spent many a pleasant day witb dear playmates, bas long since dis- ppeared. Theold Methodistcburch where I nsed to attend Sundav school and preaching,, has also dis. appeared. Qnite a number of the preachers I used to know and heard dreach, have “crossed the bar” and are forever gone. DearschooI teach, ers have passed away, while others have disappeared and I know noth. ing of them today. However, the good instructions they gave me still lire, Tbeir noble infln nee has helped me across the years to live godly, soberly and righteously. As a minister of the Gospel and a writer' I owe much to them. Not only did they teach me from our text books, and do their best to en­ able me to grasp knowledge, but they taught ns that it is noble and great to live clean, manly, woman­ ly lives, and set such examples be­ fore us by their upright, noble lives Half a century has brought a- bout many changes also in our country and nation. I have lived through the reign of quite a num­ ber of presidents, - namely: Grover Cleveland, Wm. McKinley, Theo dore'Roosevelt, William H. Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren Hard ing, Calviu Goolidge. Herbert Hoo­ ver and through nine years of the presidency of Fiankliu Roosevelt. Of all tbe presidents I have known it seems to me that William Mc Kinley was the most godly. He was assassinated. I remember it Be Careful Abont It Remember back yonder when WilUatn Jennings Bryan and his SiIverxCoinage issue was the chief subject of conversation, even at the crackerbarrel. convention at every corner grocery? Weren't those tbe good old davs, when compared with what afflict today? Bnt we reckon that Bryan’s fond, est dreams did not include a five, cent piece compared of equal parts of silver and copper, instead -of one part nickel and three parts copper, as we have handled these parts for many years The “nickel” in these coins is needed for other purposes now, and > tbe government announces the gov-1 ernment announces tbat hereafter tbe five-cent pieces will have none of it. For all tbe good it is dcing oat there in that Kentucky vault, tbe government could form tbe gold into these needed coins, except that if and when it decided to recall tbe metal—there wouldn’t b ' any. As long as money in any form bnys wbat tbe holder wants be doesn’t much care whether itvls in the form ot seashells or beads. He has been so accustomed to counting pennies, though, tbat there will be tbe general hope these won’t "be tabooed Bnt if the government want’s a a national revolution on its hands, just let tt make the new five-cent pieces into a size that won’t fit the slot machines. It sure would find itself in a m.ss. What is more it would thus deprive itself of millions of dollars of revenue, for no mattei bow hard tbe lesser governmental units try to outlaw tbe slots. Uncle Sam continues to call them legal and takes a heavy toll. Mix and blend tbe metal that goes into tbe five-cent piece in any proportion tbe government wants, it will still be a ‘‘nickel” to all of us, and to many it will be used for about tbe only purpose they have thought it was created for —to make a slot machine disgorge. The mint at Washington had better not leave any burrs on it tbat might serve to jam the slots. It would have' an­ other war on its hands, right-off — Statesville Daily Berlin claims the sinking of twice as mano fighting ships as England had, and at last count the Russians had stain a third more German sol. diers than had been .credited 'to the eastern front, yet admits there are a few left.—Ex. very well. Gur nation was shock­ ed -and saddened by bis death Wbile on his death bed he said, "God's will be done.” Wbile be was dying they sang that wonder­ ful old song, "Nearer, My God, to Thee,"-and he joined in tbe sing, ing with bis feeble voice. O, that we had such godly rulers today at the bead of the. nations of' eanh! We wouldn’t be in this dreadful Wodd War. I well remember the "horse and buggy duys.” The great majority of us could not even own a horse and buggy. We did our traveling atoot. I’ve traveled - many thons. and* ot miles afoot I used to walk fifty and sixty miles at a time and really enjoyed tbe trip I welt re­ member when there were no auto, mobiles. The first one I ever saw was at Boone, N. C. That has been upwards of thirty years ago Before tbe davs of automobiles we bad ,very few highways. J ust rough poorly grajed, muddy roads. In winter weather it wat hard to even travel with a wagon, or horse and buggy, over most ot the roads, es­ pecially during raioy weather, as the mud was axle deep. I’ve seen great changes take place in oar country by wav of good roads and travel. A vast difference now and fifty years ago. War Time Prohibition. This newspaper, it will be recall ed, was tbe first North Carol na newspaper to crv out against the government going in tbe liquor business, especially to tbe extent of having legal grog shops close by our military camps that our young men mav find it just as easy to at­ tend military affairs. A visit to Fayetteville, with Ft. Bragg close by, will settle once and for all any doubt you may have on this school. Recently the North Carolina Ct-ristian Advocate, of Greensboro, the weekly periodical of the North Carolina Methodism carried an editorial on "War Time Prohibition” and we like it so well tbat we would like to pass it on to our readers who perhaps do not take that paper and so did not see it. It voices our sentiment in so many ways. The editorial is as follows: In the' first world war we had war time prohibition to conserve grain and the other elements tbat go into alcoholic liquors. We also set ourselves to restore the hurt tbat comes to tbe armed forces by the tree flow of liquor. Why should we not have prohibition this time wben the curse of alcohol is mani fest about every army camp? Are be citizens certain to profit by, tbe liquor trade and the boys to suffer the hurt and degredation that fol low the flow of liquor and its at­ tendant vice? Cumberland, New Hanover, Wake, Dutbam and other counties boast of tbe millions gath­ ered while no effort is made, to clean up tbe situation in North Caro’ina. In fact, the doctors.tell of the trou­ ble they are having in dealing with veneral disease as liqnor and pros­ titution continue to hold sway Tbe money derived from liquor stands in the way of bettering pre. sent conditions. A similar situa tion exists in the nation. Tbis government forces the bovs into the camps and into the firing line. It also lays heavy taxes upon the people, but it refuses to restrain or 10 prohibit tbe liqnor trade in its devastating work. Noonedaresto throttle king alcohol even in . this time of war. "What can a people under the double curse of war and liquor hope for? BOth of. these mean devasta­ tion and deathi From this war' at present there is no escaoe, but we might lay violent hands upon Ii quor to save our boys and our- land from its death dealing work. We gather up scraps of paper hairpins, old postage stamps and all such in the name of patriotism, while millions upon millions of dol Iars worth of grain and other food stuff go into liquor. Is it any won. der that thoughtful add sensible people refuse to listen to many of the pleas for belp in this hour? It is the old story ot "yenny wise and pound foolish.' Once the govern, ment lays a vigorous hand on' Old John Barleycorn many of the pres ent pleas for sacrifice will come with more force. War time piohibition just now would convince tbe Amer. ican people that this Republic is in danger. This wOuld be far more effective than the present efforts to bolster, morale by catch slogans and false propaganda.”—Union Repub. lican. . Love Passages Ot 1913 Work Wonders Now Camp Barkele;, Tex.—During the Louisiana maneuvers a bunch of boys from Company A, 120th Quarter* master regiment, wande-ed into a deserted plantation home and found a bundle of time-stained love letters. They were written back in 1913 bv a soldier stationed in Cuba to bis sweetheartback hone.Theprowlingtroopera culled the pretties^ Passages and incorporated them with painstaking precision in letters to their girl friends.Among the amazing results were six recent marriages in Company A. little Stingers. Seen Along Main Street From Tbe Yellow Jacket It seems that FDR has changed his firesigbt chats to “shoot’etn on tbe spot” talks. In a recent one be showed signs of getting fed no on tbe trike busi­ ness, wben he said "defense cannot be hampered by the selfish obstruc. tion of a small but dangerous min­ ority of labor leaders who are a menace .'to tbe true cause of laboi.” Labor leaders must be getting pret­ ty raw wben even FDR notices it It is said of Mark Twain, tbat tbe first time be looked npon tbe old ocean in all of its billowy splendor, he exclaimed; "Boy, she’s a success.” If Mark were back here today and could look at the ocean, of New Deal doings for the past nine vears, we are of the opinion he would feel impelled to remark: "Boy, sbe's a failure.” And why hot? Civilian employees of Federal State and local government have reached a new high of 4,(68,000 persons on WPA, CCC, and NYA projects and 1.944.000 iu the Army and Navy. This is New Deal times, But we'll bet you our panteloons that yon don’t see these figures pre­ sented in any New Deal paper. Every man of patriotism and common sense muse know that in importance and urgency our de. fense program is tbe nation’s first job, but it is worse than foil/ to take the position tbat nothing else bas any importance, at all. Some people seem to hold to tbe idea that because we are living under abnor­ mal conditions tbat any normal thought or actiou is untimely and unpatriotic. That’s a dangerous attitude. Budget Director Smith predicts tbat 1942’s all-over spending will touch two billion a month. Other New Dealers say it will run to three billion if places can be found to spend it Of course a way will oe found if tbe administration bas to let a contract to move tbe Blue Ridge back to the Mississippi val­ ley and tear down the Rocky Moun­ tains. Hasn’t things come to a pretty pass tbat a man is branded as a pro- Nazi for saying now wbat FDR and Willkie were saying at the moment the ballots were counted on Nov ember 5 , 1940, namely, that the In. terests of the American people de. mand tbat we should keep out of foreign wars and promptly build an imptegnable defense? Alter The War--What? Winning the war is the largest task just now, comments one of our exchanges But wbat is going to happen when tbe billions upon bil lions of dollars cease to be poured into war industries and tbe million of voung men return from the arm­ ies to find s job in civil life? And at this time tbe multitudes now busy in war industries will be out of a job also. These are more perplexing questions than winning the'war if we will stop to think of them. Henry Ford when asked recent­ ly what be was going to do witb his colosal new army airplane plant after the war, answered: "Make plans for everybody ” This may be the .answer. If so we will be­ come a nation of great consumers in airplanes. But can we extend this production and consumption in all other industries^, If so, O. K. -E x. ______________1 . a 1 » How Long?

The retirement feature of the Law Enforcement -Officers’ Benefit and Retirement Fund was inaugurated Jnly I 1940. and past service credit was allowed all officers' who became members prior to January 31, 1941, provided contributions were made on all earnings from July I, 1940 The Board received several petitions from law enrorcement agencies stat­ ing they did not receive notice of the former deadline, and in order to make the retirement plan available to all officers the deadline - was ex­ tended to April 1.1942.

It has come to pass that tbe infantary advances on rubber tired wheels and the calvary is mounted on motorcycles. Air-, ships take off and land on rubber wbile all guns, equipment and foods are transported on rubber. While all of that is true the war caught the army rubber so the supply bought for civilian purposes bad. to be taken over Thefact tbat synthetic rob­ ber tbat is even better than that from trees can be made is of little use at the present as we have no plaats tbat can make it in anything but small quantities There is no escaping the hardships that will be endured daring the comming months The blowouts will sound like war when the tires get thin and tbe high­ ways hot.

XTEW YORK--Randolph Evem- ’ ghim Paid, who is preparing ;the treasury’s new tax program, is a lSuave, pleasant man with somewhat _ A mw the mannerr Tax Aufhortty Has of a kindly NoGoodWordfor doctor who TaxationSystem is not nice medicine but we’ve got to take it. He has written probably as much on taxes, and with as full authority, as any man in Ameri­ ca, but we can’t find he ever said a good word Ior them. In his book, “Law of Federal In­come Taxation,” published in 1934, he said: “It (taxation) is an evil which is in direct propor­ tion to the rate of taxation im­posed, and in these days of re­ sumed high rates it is more im­ portant than it has been for many years.” We had suspected as much, and 1Ijust now it is apparent that Mr. :Paul hadn’t seen anything then. He is a New York lawyer, with the ■firm of Lord, Day and Lord, and for the last four years has been Sterling jlecturer on taxation in the Yale university school of law, previously having lectured at Harvard. It is as special adviser to Secretary Mor- : genthau on taxation that he is now outlining the tax program. He was appointed to the post of full-time 'adviser on December 12 of last year, after past part-time service in this capacity. He is believed to be wary of any prescription by which an over-dose of taxation not only would fail as an antidote for in­ flation but might bring worse evils. He is a native of Hackensack, N. J., educated at Amherst college and the New York university law school. He became a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York last June. In bis treasury ad­ visory capacity he is a dollar-a-year man. TT’S hard luck having a rubber * shortage just when we need rub­ ber head lines. Pity the poor copy- reader trying to work in this one: H f* Trimmed to ^ Fit, Though Ncane aldus Lam- Could Take a Cut *>ertus ^ ar'. da van Star- kenborgh Stachouwer. . He is the :governor general of the Netherlands and commander in chief of all the Dutch armed forces of land, sea and ',air which are bagging perhaps more than their full share of Japanese in the opening encounters of the war •in the Pacific. His person has none of the re­ dundancy of his name. He is trim, fit, energetic and hard as nails. At 52, blue-eyed and. blue- blooded, a cold, precise realist, trained in the world’s toughest . school of administration, he is an ascetic In his personal habits, an abstainer from liquor and to­bacco—all this in refutation of the common stereotype of the fat burgher smoking a meer­ schaum pipe. The governor general of the Dutch East Indies has virtually absolute 'powers. Bui five years is the limit i in which this dictatorial mandate may be exercised, and the crown, wary about dictators, may recall the governor general for inefficiency or malfeasance. That’s how the can­ ny Dutch get efficiency in their co- ■ lonial empire, with a check-rein and . a martingale on it. The governor’s term was up last December, but the Dutch saw this war coming and con-' tinued him indefinitely in of­ fice. At the same time, they au­ tomatically solved the problem of full centralization of wartime authority, the integration of land . and air forces and of industrial and military effort. Only on one other occasion, in the first World war, has the term of the gover­ nor general been thus extended. The governor, bom in the Nether- Iand Indies, studied law, entered the diplomatic service, became gover­ nor of his native province, served at six foreign capitals, including Washington and became president ot the university from which he was I graduated. His wife is a former !Baltimore girl; Christine Marburg, the daughter ot a former United States ambassador to Belgium. A knowing friend of this writ­er, who spent two years In the Far East, tells me that Gover­ nor Stachouwer has achieved a miracle of organization and dis­ cipline in pulling together the European and Eurasian Hol­ landers and Indonesians. “And,” my friend added, “the natives are with him. That’s going to be important in this war. They ' bave organized IpngIe armies of their own and they’re going to - be hard to take. The governor has been tough but he has been ■ fair and he is no tyrant.” First Meeting of War Labor Board First meeting of the new National War Labor board.

By VIRGINIA VALE ‘ (Released by W estern New spaper Union-I GARY GRANT, just finishing “Arsenic and Old Lace” on the Warner lot at !Burbank, Calif., is expected to apply fpr his final American citizenship papers any day now. He was preparing to complete his Amer­ icanization when England de­ clared war on Germany, and stopped, figuring it as a slack­ er act. When he informed the British authorities that he was ready for; any task they might assign him to, they told him to remain in Holly­ wood. So he began dividing his earn­ ings between the needy here and in England; they got the $100,000 which he. received for “The Philadelphia Story,” and he’s donating $100,000 of his “Arsenic” earnings; all the money must be spent here. Loretta Young finally revenged her screen sisters who have had to take slaps in the face and well- aimed blows in the name of their art. She caught Frederic March bent over with laughter during a scene in Columbia’s “Bedtime Sto- LORETTA IOUNG ry” and launched a kick which not only deposited March in the gutter- but also left him with his face in a mud puddle. To make matters worse, they had to make four takes before the scene was right—which meant four kicks, four descents into the mud for March. George Brent had his first kissing scene with Olivia de Havilland in the forthcoming “In This Our Life.” While they were making it Ann Sheridan, who works for the same studio, was on the set watching, and Brent seemed a bit bashfuL “Go ahead, .George, and give her a real kiss,” urged Ann. "Just pretend that Annie doesn’t live here any more.” A week later, Ann and George were married. *—For two musical misfits who couldn’t get a break In New Tork a tew years ago because they couldn’t carry a tune, comedians Bud Ab­ bott and Lou Costello are doing all rigbt.

Enclosing Cellar Stairs ;A FIRE hazard that is quite com- mon in residences is due to.the cellar stairs being under the stairs to the second floor. In the event of a cellar fire the draft up the cellar stairs would Carry the .flames to the under side of the stairs above, which in burning out, would, leave the bed­ room windows as the only escape for people trapped there. The best remedy for this condition would be the moving of the cellar stairs to a distant corner of the cellar. Anoth­ er remedy is the enclosing of the cellar stairs with fireproof or at least slew burning materials; asbestos board, two or three thicknesses of plasterboard, or something similar. In addition to this, there should be a fireproof or slow-burning door from the cellar to the enclosure. With I I this door left open, however, the en­ closure would be useless. For this reason it should have a spring or weight to keep it closed. With the stairs,'thus protected, a fire would be confined to the cellar for a long enough time to organize an effective fight against it. Hot Water Relief Valve Question: I have just installed a stoker In my hot water house heat­ ing boiler, to which is attached a 30- gallon tank for running hot water. With the constant heat of the stoker, is there any danger that the tank might explode? Answer: If your source of hot wa­ ter is a coil or a knuckle In the fire­ box of your boiler, explosion is a possibility, because of the possible formation of steam. If there is no check valve or meter in the cold water supply line, you will be fairly safe, because pressure developed in the tank will cause the water to back up into the main. With a check valve or meter you should put a relief valve on the tank to release the pressure before it becomes high enough to make trouble. This re­ lief valve should be on the hot wa­ ter outlet of the tank; not on the cold water inlet. Soiled Paint Question: Paint on our house is in good condition, but is darkened by smoke and soot. Vlhat can we use for cleaning it? Answer: Scrub with any mild soap. You- could also use a solution of ene or- two tablespoons of tri­ sodium phosphate in a pail of wa­ ter, for this chemical is destructive of grease. Begin washing at the bottom and go upward. If you be­ gin at the top and work-down, dirty water running over the dry paint will make streaks that cannot be taken out. Follow by thorough rins­ ing with clear water. Floor Cleaning Question: Floors that were sand­ed and waxed are not marked, but Wapk with dirt. How can they be cleaned before rewaxing? Answer: You can use liquid wax —not water wax—which will soften the wax on the floor and permit it, with the dirt, to be wiped up. It is probable that some of the dirt has . gone into the wood, and washing with soap and water may be neces­ sary. Wax does not give much pro­ tection to wood, because dirt will go through. The bare wood should have a coating of shellac, varnish or sea'■ before waxing. Fumigatioii ^Question: In trying to rid my bed­im of bedbugs, fumigation with ' ocyanic gas was recommended. <ye a formula, but do not know tise it or where to. get the ients. Will you inform me? i Answer: Do not under any circum­ stances attempt to use hydrocyanic gas,,because of its deadliness. To breathe it would be fatal. In cities its use is permitted only by licensed', fumigators. I am sending you a leaflet on the control of bedbugs that I am sure will be helpful, and which does not involve anything dan­ gerous. Refinishing Copper Pots Question: The. Iiifing of our old copper pots has been worn through, and food that stands in them be­ comes contaminated. How. can tor* pots be restored to usefulness? Answer: The usual lining of cop* per pots is tin. The process of lin­ing is difficult, and an excellent sub­ stitute would be to have the inside of the pots plated with chromium. This job can be done by plating shops at no great expense. Any ga­ rage can give-you toe .name and ad* dress of one in your neighborhood. Paint for Bricks Question: Our house is rough red brick. We would like to paint it white, but my husband thinks-that white paint would not last. Whatdo you advise? Answer: You will get good results with cement paint, which is intend­ ed for masonry.: It comes as a pow­ der to be mixed with water. / Roof Snow Guards, Question: During the last two winters the snows sliding off toe roof damaged toe shrubs and trees near toe house. What can be done? Where can snow guards be ob­ tained? Answer: Snow guards made of heavy,-copper.wire can be bought through most shops handling roof­ ers’ supplies and materials. Toprto vent staining on white house walls' from copper drip, give the wire a thin coat of varnish,, the kind toatis ’ with a cloth.- M ifH tt G U o m tv e /t4 \ Invitation to Dinner—Tasty Onion Soup (See Recipes Below) Let’s Serve Soup Something hot, something to warm up the system and something to stir toe appetite into action so it can enjoy toe meal it­ self—this is soup.

Stir constantly over direct heat or cook' in double boiler until soup thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Serve in soup plates with croutons made by toasting stale bread in oven. Sprinkle grated cheese over bread just before serv­ing. Flavor’s the important thing in soup, and you’ll know just to what extent when you try: Split Fea Soup.

Here are some popular ideas: Thin slices , of lemon, chopped parsley, thin slices of avocado, slightly salted whipped, cream, toasted almonds. In the bread line you can really do a lot of tricks, such as cutting the bread into fancy shapes with a cookie cutter, then toasting and sprinkling on soup before serv­ ing. Rings (made with doughnut cutter), animal: shapes, hearts, stars and diamonds are popular. Cheese sticks' are good too and are made by sprinkling grated cheese on bread strips, broiled and served hot. ' Chopped .chives or chopped parsley either by themselves or sprinkled over the salted whipped cream add color to soup platters.

THE HEALING BdNISTRT OPJESHS LESSON TEXT—2:1*12. GOLDEN TEXT—Jesus * . . w as moved with compassion tow ard them , and he healed their sick.—M atthew 14:14. Mamis more than a body. He is made up of body, soul, and spirit. In a physical world where he . is so much in touch with physical na­ ture, and the needs of his body are so much before him, he is prone to forget.that there is within a spir­ itual nature which is his real self. God is interested in both the physical and the spiritual side of man. He provides all that we need for our bodies, and above all, He meets the all-important spiritual hunger of man’s inner being. We find the Lord Jesus in our lesson graciously touching both spirit and body of toe palsied man in response to the faith of his friends. I. Faito Brings a Oonbie Need to Christ (w. 1-4). This faith-stimulating story, faces us first with 1. An Impossible Situation. In­curably afflicted and helpless phys­ ically and far more deeply afflict­ ed spiritually, this man had no one who could heal his body and restore his soul. Apart from the power of God in Jesus Christ his situation was hopeless, and thus he may well typify every rone .of us. except for the grace of' Christ. Furthermore, his circumstances were such as to make it impossible for him to get to Jesus, who was there in his city. Even when his tour friends came to his help and bore him to the house where Jesus was, they could hot enter because of toe crowds. So a. journey begun in hope was evidently to close in de­ spair. But wait, toese men had 2. An Undeniable Faith. “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” Where there is faith toe obstacles may be surmounted. Having begun a good work they perseyered In it. Had these men been bound by convention or custom they would never have put their friend at Jesus’ feet. They did try to make a proper entry through toe door, but it was blocked. The way to Jesus is often closed, by some -customy-a vain philosophy, or-.a.religious ceremony. Let us, like these believing men, open the roof if- necessary to bring our needs and our needy ,friends to Him. ' Although mention is made only of the palsy of this man, Kiis probable that both he and they knew that his need was for a-double ,cure,.for he was 'yet in his sins. They brought Ifim to Jesus, where their .... .. D. Faith Receives a. Double Re­ward From Christ (w. 5-12). . Immediately . . Jesus “saw their faith” (v. 5),- just as He always does. God is on the lookout for faith and is quick to reward .it. The two­ fold need here brought a double blessing. 1 - 1. Spiritual Cleansing. The man’s physical affliction thus proved to be his greatest blessing, for it brought him' to Jesus, who cleansed him of all unrighteousness. If he-hgd not been palsied he might never have nxet the Lord. . Suffering, then, may be a means of grace. That is more titan a pious 'platitude,;'tor Jt has been proved. repeatedly in the. exist­ ence of men and women. Certain scribes “sitting there” (they. were not doing a thing to help) began to reason in their hearts that Jesus whs blaspheming be­ cause only God can forgive, .sin. Their theology was faultless and their reasoning'was logical, but the premise of their argumentwas wrong. Chfiy God can forgive sin, but-Jesus is God, something which they in their wisdom did'not realize or ac­cept. We (especially young people in school) should be careful that the fluent smoothness of some unbeliev­ ing philosopher’s logic does-noHead- us astray, and away from God’s truth.' Note also the solemnizing thought that Jesus.knew what they, were thinking iA^foeib'fc&ttSK LWus re­ member ,that “all. things are.naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom='we have to do’’ - (Heb, 4:13). What does He see when He- looks into our hearts?' The challenge of these questioning scribes is met by 2. Physical Healing. Forgiving sins was harder than healing the. body, but these enemies of Jesus lived so much in the. realm of toe physical that He had to give them a demonstration of His almighty power which they could see. It was a gracious thing for* Him to do, and perhaps necessary in those early days of His life and ministry. Today, with all the light of his­ tory upon the work of God, we need to beware that we do not sit. in the seat of toe scornful and demand a physical sign before we will be­ lieve. God is doing great things' in the spiritual realm even in our day, hi'which .Christian men and women may share by faith. SEWING CIRCLE 15I8B r \ 0 YOU like to sew?

C FEBRUARY 11. 1942. THE DAVIE RECORD, C. FRANK STROUD - ■ Editor. TELEPHONE Entered at the PostoiBce in Mocks- vllle, N. C., as Second-claw Mail matter. March 3.1903. 'SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE * I »0SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - S SO When yon see a man setting his watch by the court house clock you may know he is a stranger here. So far as we have oeen able to learn, there is no sugar shortage in this town. The scarcest article in this section are hundred dollar bills. We haven’t met one this year. Some of the politicians seem to think Senator Bailey should be de­ feated this year. He hasn’t always agreed with the New Deal. Poli­ tics doesn’t seem to be claiming the attention of the public this year. There are more serious things to think of at this time. No one knows just bow long it is going to take the Allies to lick the Axis powers. Some say one year, some five years, and one writer even says ic will take ten years to put the enemy out of business. Here’s hoping we can finish the job within the next twelve months. The quicker it is over the fewer men will have to suffer, bleed and die. The cost ot living continues to mount bv leaps and bounds Even the modest black-eyed peas are now selling fur :i third more than they did onlv a few short weeks ago. Only the nabob can eat bacon and eggs these mornings. The price of bacon has advanced from 15 Js cents per pound to 35 c^nts Despite all this, let us take courage and thank the Lord that we are living in a free country. We can’t figure out why this country needs anv CCC camps now. With plenty of jobs for the young men in mills and factories and on the farm, and with an army and navy of three to five million men wanted in the next year or two, it would seem like operating these camps would not be .necessary. They were created to give jobs to the poor boys whose parents were in need, and who could not secure any kind of employment, or at least that is the idea we had. North Carolina Democrats arc preparing to stage about half a dozen Washington b’rthday dinners in different cities on Saturday, Feb. 21st. Itissaidthal the price will be $25 per plate. The money wilj no doubt be used to help pay off the New Deal campaign debts that were incurred in the 1940 presiden­ tial election. Just how many New Dealers who are not at the Feder­ al pie counter, will be able to pay this big price tor one meal, we are unable to say. Theie will be few Davie men at these dinners, is our guess. It is out of order for Republicans to plan a campaign or make politi­ cal speeches during the emergency, but all right for New Dealers. Red- Shirt Cam Morrison has already opened bis campaign. Cameron has announced that he wants to go to Congress from the tenth district next fall He wanted to go to the Senate a tew years ago, but a play­ boy by the name of Reynolds.. de­ feated him by the biggest majority ever given any man in North Caro Iina for any office up to that time. Cameron is old enough to know better.

Iy o u b d ea ler nigh places grow Insibilities; others ©BELL IHE BIOEI SO FAR: Joan Leland, pretty secretary to Arthur Mulford, San Francisco importer, Is amazed and angry when he unexpectedly discharges her with taro weeks’ salary and refuses any explanation. The bewildered girl arrives at the apartment she shares with her .ster SyhU, feeling thankful that one of them still has a position, only to he told by her sister that the beauty salon where she works, Is closing up. Over the pro­ tests of Sybil, Joan answers a secre­ tarial ad requiring some night work. Ihe fascinating proprietor, Karl Miller, en­ gages her at once, at a salary of $50 per week and insists upon paying her In ad­ vance, even though she lacks references. Sybil suspects something sinister and divines Joan's quick Interest In KarL She pleads with her not to take the Job and the two quarrel. Joan accepts Karl’s dinner invitation.Now continue with the story. CHAPTER In . Joan felt Karl’s irritation towards Sybil. “My parents are both dead,” she explained. “Syb feels that she has to look after me.” But even Joan was annoyed to find Sybil waiting up for them later that night. “It’s almost two o’clock," Sybil •napped. “What’s the idea?” Karl Miller looked amused as he stood hat in hand in the doorway. “In that case, I shall say good­ night without further delay.” When he had gone Joan turned furiously to her sister. “Why did you have to say that? I’m old enough to manage my own affairs.”' ‘ - There were deep circles of fatigue 1 beneath Sybil’s blue eyes. Her voice seemed to echo like a warning through the old-fashioned, high-ceil- inged rooms. “You’ve got to quit working for Karl Miller! You’ve got id quit tomorrow!”* * e J The sisters stared at each other In the dimly lit room. Joan threw her head back defiantly as she cried, "You’ve made Karl angry! You had no right to do that.” Sybil smiled ruefully. “He looked more amused than angry. “It’s up to me to look after you, Joan.' I feel responsible since mother and dad are gone. If anything happened, I’d never forgive myself.” “I know, Syb! And we mustn’t quarrel about it.” She yawned and started for the bedroom but Sybil caught her arm. “Then you will quit working for Karl Miller?” “No. I will not. I’m twenty years old, Sybil, and I’m not going to let you or anyone else run my life.” The grandfather’s clock in the cor­ ner chimed. “Two-thirty,” Joan observed; evading Sybil’s worried glance. “We’d better get some sleep. Don’t you have to work in the morning?” "No. Today was my last day. From now on I’m one of the un­ employed.” “And you expect me to quit my job? Oh, no, Syb! I’m making a good salary and whether you think so or not, Karl is a gentleman.” “Maybe so,” Sybil said as she snapped off the lamp, “but I don’t trust him.” . The next day Joan Leland arrived at the Club Elite promptly at two o’clock. Karl Miller’s office was filled with baskets of flowers. To­ night was opening night but Karl was unruffled behind his desk, im­ peccably dressed in a gray suit, a red carnation in his buttonhole. She ,was glad that she had worn her best blade dress. It was an ex­ pensive sophisticated dress, the kind of dress Joan knew Karl would ap­ prove. Heavy silver earrings were her only ornament, and she had used a touch of mascara, a dash of dark ' red lipstick. Joan had the assur­ ance iff a woman who knew that she looked her best. Her green eyes sparkled as she closed the office door behind her. “Good afternoon,” she said de­ murely.Her employer was not the type to evade issues. “I’ve been thinking about your sister, Joan. Tell me something about her.”Joan removed her hat and coat and smoothed her black hair before she replied, "Sybil’s a little low right now. You see, she’s just lost her job. The beauty shop where she worked has been closed.” Kar- toughed. “Then perhaps that was why she was in such a bad humorV"He SAid it with such apparent hon­ esty tnat Joan was not angry. She sat d«wn at her own small desk be­ side Karl’s and mechanically insert­ ed r sheet of paper in her typewrit­ er.Karl suddenly leaned forward. “WTuld it please you if I could help your sister?” 7%e girl’s lovely face lifted inno­ cently to his. “Oh Karl, could you?” “I think so. A friend of mine, a Mrq.. Murdock, owns the Ritz Beau­ ty Salon. If I ask her, I feel sure sha will be able to use another ex-, perienced girl.” • Joan’s eyes were .shining. “The Ritz Beauty. Salon! Oh, Karl, that’s wonderful!” It was one of the best shops in town. Sybfl would be thrilled. ' .”Df courSff,” Karl continued, "four sister may not want any as­ sistance from, me since she so ob­ viously dislikes me.”“I’m sure Sybil will appreciate it very much,” Joan assured him. “It -'was sweet of you to think of her, Karl.”But with a swift change of atti­ tude Karl had ground out his ciga- Mtie and . when he turned again to •■^Sy l v ia Ta y l o r !■URdMBS. “All right! From now on I’m not saying another word. You can do just as yon like, Joan.” Joan his eyes were void of any emo­ tion. “Get that orchestra leader on the telephone,” he said. “I have some instructions to give him.”“Yes, Mr. Miller!” and as Joan dialed the number she found her­ self more than ever intrigued by this man who had offered to help her sister. This strange enigma that was Karl Miller. At six o’clock Joan decided to go home for dinner. In two hours' she - could easily make it and she was eager to tell Sybil of her good for­tune. Her sister looked up in surprise as Joan burst into the living room. “What on earth are you doing home? You didn’t by any chance quit?” "Don’t be silly!” Joan cried, throwing her hat on the table. “I have wonderful news for you. Karl can get you a job at the IUiz Beauty Salon.” Sybil was genuinely surprised. “The Ritz? That smart new shop on Post street?” “Nothing less! Isn’t it wonderful? Karl knows the owner. He’s going to call her and fix it up for you.” “But it’s one of the best shops in town,” Sybil said unbelievingly. “Of course! Wasn’t it nice of him? Honestly, Sybil, how can you dis­ like a man who is so kind? Imagine his thinking about a job for you to­day, of all days, when he’s so busy with the club opening!” Sybil was standing by the win­ dow. “Doesn’t look like a very good night for it.- It’s going to rain.” “Is that all you can say!” Joan cried indignantly. “Karl said may­ be, since you didn’t like him, you wouldn’t want his help. But I thought you would.” Sybil turned, “You’re right, Joan! I do need the job. You may tell Mr. Miller that I appreciate it very much.”Joan did not notice the coldness of her sister’s reply. She was hap­pily unconscious of the expression on Sybil’s face. <“ How about dinner? I’m starved. I have to -be back at the club by eight.”Sybil broiled the chops while Joan made a salad.“I see you’re wearing your good black dress to work. What’s the idea?”"Why not?” Joan retorted. ‘Tm making fifty dollars a week now and I have to look my best.” “You didn’t seem to think it nec­ essary when you worked for Mr. Mulford.”Joan put the salad bowl on the table and set places for two. “You know how I feel about Karl, Syb!” she said in a low voice. “Why make it hard for me?”“All right! From now on I’m not saying another word. You can do‘ just as you like, Joan. -, Maybe it’s none of my business, after all.” Joan put an affectionate arm about her sister. “Don’t feel that way, darling. But give me a little credit for knowing what I’m doing. I’m not a child, you know.” Sybil smiled as she turned back to the stove but she said no more.As Sybil had predicted, it was raining when Joan reached the club but the weather bad not seemed to affect business. Already the first guests were arriving. The bar was crowded. Gay laughter, conversa­ tion, tinkling glasses made an ex­ citing combination of sounds which spelled success for the future. Joan felt a little thrill of pride as she passed on down the corridor'to the office.She settled herself at her desk and began to type. Karl was not there. Her mind wandered as she worked. Only a week ago she was working for Arthur Mulford. Now everything was different. Life had turned a fresh page, which Joan felt sure would be filled with adventure. It must have been fate that she an­ swered Karl Miller’s advertisement. Fate that Mr. Mulford had gone out of business and been forced to fire her.She was thinking so intently that when he opened the door she felt the color rush into her cheeks. And she knew that his keen eyes had. Observed her embarrassment. Karl seemed pleased. “Every­ thing’s going fine. Couldn’t be bet ter. By the way, I spoke to Mrs. Murdock. Tell your sister she can start work Monday morning.” “Oh thank you!” Joan cried. “It’s so kind of you, Karl!” He rose, came around the desk. “Has it made you happy, Joan?” “Of course,” heir eyes faltered be­ neath the steel-blue eyes. Karl Miller laughed softly as he drew her into his powerful arms. Sybil’s warnings Tang in her ears but the pounding of her heart over­ came them as her lips blindly met his. * * * There was strange magic in Karl Miller’s kiss. How long Karl held her in that embrace, Joan did not know. When he released, her he put a hand beneath her chin and looked deeply into the green eyes that were filled with emotion. “Oh, Karl!” Joan cried softly, but. before she could say more the office door opened and a man entered. - His eyes caiight the little scene and he turned to go. “Sorry, Karl! See you later.” Joan turned back to her desk with flaming cheeks but Karl Miller did not seem embarrassed. “It’s all right, Paul! Come on in. I don’t think you’ve met my new secretary. Miss Leland, this is Paul Sherman.” Joan was forced to look into a pair of brown eyes. Their owner was tall and lithe. He had a quick smile, brown curly hair. It was a good-looking face, with its straight nose and square jaw. “I’m very glad to meet you,” Paul Sherman said emphatically. Joan acknowledged the introduc­ tion and turned quickly back to her typing. What would this man think of her?. Karl had said, “My new sec­ retary,” which implied that they had not been acquainted long. Joan told herself that she didn’t care what Paul Sherman thought, yet — for some-indefinable reason—she did. “Paul is my right-hand man,” Karl said, opening a panel in the wall which revealed a tiny but com­ plete bar. “He manages the club. You’ll probably be seeing a lot of each other. Have a drink, Paul?” The other sat down and crossed his long legs. “A short one. I have to get out front again. Things7Iouk good, K arl. . . What do you think of Uie club, Miss Leland?” At the unexpected question ad­ dressed to her, Joan started. “It’s very nice,” she replied, dark lashes sweeping over .her embarrassed green eyes. She had an uncanny feeling that Paul Sherman was star­ ing at her, conscious of her em­barrassment. She was so confused that she made three mistakes in one line. It was not easy for her to tun. emotion, off and on as Karl MiUeT did. She marvelled at his coolness as he sat on the edge of bis deah and talked to Paul. “By the way,” Paul was saying, his eyes still on Joan, "Eric wants to see you. He’s in the bar. Want* you to meet some people.” “I'll go then. Coining, Paul?” Paul finished his drink. “I’m right with you, Karl.” Joan was relieved when they had gone. She pushed . back her chair and made no pretense of finishing the letter she had been typing. It was thus that Paul Sherman found her when he returned to the Officei a few seconds later, She started guiltily when he came in. "Oh, it’s you again!” ' “You don’t seem too pleased to see me,” Paul, observed, shutting the door carefully behind him. “Bu as a matter of fact, I cam? back oi. purpose.” Joan stared at him in disapproval. “You mean that no one wanted to see Karl?” “Oh sure! That was legitimate, but when I saw a ,chance to slip away, I took iL” His friendly smile made it difficult to' be offended. “Well,” Joan asked flatly, “What, do you'want?” Paul toughed, displaying even white teeth. “To talk to you. You needn’t be-so annoyed. After all, I am the manager of the'duh.” Was there , a hint of.cynicism in his' voice? ‘Tm sorry,” Joan said; trying to smile. “I guess Im nM used .to this type of work yet.” “That’s what-1 am getting at,” Paul said seriously. “How did yot happen to come to work for Kar Miller anyway?”■no BF CONTINUED) How to Do Newest Dance Steps I o F t e'■ 1 " BtGlN Diagram Explains Tango Steps.

STEVENSON Metoc: When the duke of Windsor made his last visit to this country as prince of Wales several years ago, his guard was J. L. Nye-com­ monly known as “Bill” Nye—of the United States secret service, who is now an executive with the Guaranty Trust company. At the large formal ball given for the prince by Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, his royal highness asked Nye how he would know with which of the ladies he should dance.“Just watch me,” replied Nye, “if I dance with a guest, it wil] be all right for you to do so." The prince followed the advice and everything went well. But it seems that the scheme leaked out and Nye then became the most pop­ ular person at the party.Incidentally, during the recent visit of the duke and duchess of Windsor, Nye was absent from his bank duties. He was again guard­ ing the duke.... Delay.: New York motorists who travel the Merritt highway, that marvelous Connecticut roadway that starts at the end of Hutchinson park­ way, have been puzzled by being stopped night and morning by red flags while 40 or more cows saunter lazily across. Bugs Baer finally, has' come through with an explanation. It seems that when the highway was built, a farmer living along it re­tained the right-of-way for his cows to cross twice a day. So, rather than build an underpass, which would run into money, Uie state per­ mits him to hold up all traffic until his herd is safely over the high­ way. Most motorists, particularly those from New York, who use the Merritt highway, are in a hurry. As everyone knows, cows never are. So there is much fretting and fum­ ing on the part of the drivers, all the more' so because they pay a dime to use the highway. * * * Far West: At the rodeo in Madi­ son Square Garden, a trim, blonde young womay, in a white cowboy outfit and wearing a white 10-gallon hat sat an the chute and cheered the riders, all of whom she knew well. With her was a cowboy, a chunky, solid sort of a man of the open spaces who neither drinks nor smokes. The cowgirl was Sally Rand and the cowboy, her fiance, Turk Greene, the Cheyenne champion. When the rodeo moved on to Bos­ ton, the fan dancer and her cowboy went right along. Some day after their wedding, they intend to settle down on a Montana ranch.* * • Thoughtful: Some time ago, Har­ old Boss, editor of the New Yorker, was entertaining Joe Cook at his country home at Stamford. In the course of a discussion, a question came up which could be settled only by consulting the Bible. Unfortu­ nately, the Ross household did not possess a copy of the Scriptures. Cook promised to take care of the deficiency. Apparently he did so by requesting all members of the large cast of the musical show with which he was appearing on the road, to send Ross a Bible. The comics, •singers, show girls, chorus girls and others sent Bibles with the result that now in the Ross library, there is a whole shelf full of them. In fact he has so many that recently he made a present of one—a Bible, not a show girl—to one of this de­ partment’s alert scouts. * * * Hicks: Visitors needn’t be royal to make New York stare.

BROCKf A tty. ; Raise AirForce To 400,000Men United States Army Steps Up Training to Reach Goal by June 30. WASHINGTON.—Increasing its 54 combat groups to 84, the army air force is to be expanded by June 30 to 400,000 men, with a subsequent expansion to 500,000. in view. This statement by the war depart­ ment contrasted the new objective with the June 30, 1940, air force per­ sonnel, comprising only 45,914 en­ listed men, 3,322 regular and re­ serve officers and 1,894 flying ca­ dets, a total of 51,130. Secretary. Stimson explained that the aim was to meet “growing re­ quirements for adequate defense of the United States and areas within the Western hemisphere vital to that defense.” Some of the groups provided by the new air training program would be assigned to overseas service in the Western hemisphere, the depart­ ment said, but .the bulk of them would be allocated to the air force combat command. Trainer Planes in Plenty. This command includes bombard­ ment, pursuit and reconnaisance groups, and each group is composed of two or more squadrons, depend­ ing on type of equipment and tacti­ cal tasks. Mr. Stimson said he did not know just how many more planes would be required for the enlarged pro­ gram, but said it could be safely assumed that trainer planes were coming along fast enough to insure that it would be fully under way by June 30.Completion of the program, in­ volving the provision of the neces­sary planes, materiel, personnel, bases and equipment presented “a problem worthy of the utmost effort, efficiency and co-ordination on the part of the army, the army air forces, the aviation industry and the American people,” the department stated. The expansion will be carried-out within the framework of. the pres­ent army air force, now in process of detailed organization by Maj. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief of this branch. It calls for the training of 30,000 pilots and 100,000 technicians a year. Use Many Schools. The expanded program, the de­ partment stated, would make the army air force one of the world’s largest universities for applied sci­ ence, with a total of more than 100 flying and technical training schools in operation. The training course envisages the use of 41 civilian schools giving 10 weeks of elementary training, 15 military and three civilian schools giving basic training, three flexible gunnery military schools, one civil navigation school, three replacement training centers for pilots, bombar­ diers and navigators, and three nav­igator and six bombardier schools. Technical training of enlisted spe­ cialists will be conducted at 19 oth­ er schools and three replacement training centers. Secretary Stimson also announced a three-fold expansion of the offi­ cers’ training course at Fort Ben- ning in rifle and machine gun use, and new developments in a second program to train over 350,000 civil­ ian employees in army-operated de­fense plants. Average Farm in Texas Increases to 329 Acres AUSTIN, TEXAS--The averagij size of a farm in Texas is 329 acres, Charles E. Baughman, chief clerk of the state department of agricul­ ture, has computed. The number of farms has de­ creased in a five-year period and in the same time the average' farm size has increased about 55 acres. Baughman’s review of the agri­ cultural situation shows the de­ thronement of King Cotton. In a five-year period, cotton acreage de­creased 1,909,664 acres. Peak of cotton cultivation was 17,700,000 acres in 1926 and the acreage in cotton in 1941 is 8,500,000 acres.Cotton farming has declined more swiftly than other farming, Baugh­ man said in a discussion of the sta­ tistics. While the decrease in the total number of f a r m s (1934-1939) was 83,015, in the same period the number of cotton f a r m s decreased 91,429. “Two-thirds of the farmers em­ ploy the use of only one-third of the land,” Baughman said, “while one-third of the farmers employ the use of two-thirds of the land. Around 428,000 people, whose fam­ ily heads were formerly employed in the production of cotton, have turned to other work, while some 400,000 people have left the farms altogether.” AU They Have to Do Now Is to Locate Him FORT BLISS, TEXAS.—Cosmopol­itan are the residential claims of a Fort Bliss soldier who clipped a “coupon for Cupid Club” coupon from the pages of the Fort Bliss Cavalcade and returned it to the editor.

PORTSMOUTH, VA--The battle­ ship Alabama will make a big splash when it is launched at the Norfolk Navy yard here next Feb­ruary, a splash so big that engineers already are calculating how wharves across the narrow Eliza­ beth river can be protected from damage. Drag chains weighing 600 tons will help check the ship’s The Alabama has been “launched” time and again In miniature in the David W- Taylor model basin, oper­ ated by the navy under the bureau of ships at Carderock, Md., and every conceivable problem connect­ed with Oie actual latmching has been studied. Naval architects were letting the model of the 35,000-ton vessel slide down the ways into the basin as long as two years ago, and from these launchings engineers have collected data which tell them ex­ actly what to expect, when the sister ship of the Massachusetts and the South Dakota actually hits the river. The model tests showed, for ex­ ample, that a possible wave eight feet high might be set up by the battleship, but that the height of the wave in the confined waters of the Elizabeth river probably would not exceed five feet.It was found that unless the mo­ mentum of the ship was checked in some way the vessel undoubtedly would crash into the Berkley wharves across the river. That is why the tons of chain drags, placed in 50-ton clumps and secured to pads at the side of the shin- will be emnlnved. Auto Light Glare Hits Women Worst, Tests Show BERKELEY, CALIF. — Glare blindness caused by automobile headlights lasts longer in women than in men, University of Califor­ nia experimenters reported. Tests were made on 150 students by Dr. C. W. Brown, H. P. Torkel- son and L. B: Fisk, psychologists. A blinding light was flashed into their faces to simulate conditions in night driving. Male students as a group showed a recovery time of almost 10 sec­ onds less than the women. The ex­ perimenters found that the average recovery time for normal vision was 25.2 seconds. _ F a r m T o p ic s PREVENT DISEASE IN DAIRY HERD Good Management, Feeding Will Reduce Losses. ~- By Dr. GEORGE TAXLOB(Kxtausioa DMirymta, New Jttuy CoIIegt Oi AgrieuItunf Rutgan Uaivtnity*) Dairymen should think more in terms of herd health and disease prevention and less In terms of treatment and cures. The value of any dairy animal Is ; dependent primarily upon its health. Prevention of disease is far less costly than disease treatment, and good feeding and management practices can go a long way toward reducing annual losses in dairy herds due to disease. The ration should supply the prop­ er balance of protein, energy, min­ erals, and vitamins. Water is also needed. Quality-roughage, including hay, pasture and grass silage, is the most essential item of dairy feed. It is a fair source of calcium and practically the sole source of vita­ mins A and D in the dairy ration. Concentrates which must be fed to satisfy higher levels of production tend to be toxic to a dairy animal. Hiis effect is largefy overcome by the feeding of quality hay when pas­ ture is not available. Tlie long list of ailments in dairy cattle which can be avoided by good feeding includes goiter, bloat, impaction and loss of appetite. Management ranks with feeding in importance in checking disease. Because^ the spread of disease is more rapid in targe herds, the size Of the millring unit should be limited to SO cows or less. Separate quar­ ters should also be provided for growing heifers and baby calves. Sepsrate isolation and maternity quarters are also desirable. Strict sanitation is a most im­ portant part of management.. Regu­ lar systematic cleaning and disin­ fecting will aid materially in keep­ ing down the causative organisms associated with disease. Dairy animals should be allowed ' ample exercise under conditions 1 where they may benefit from fresh »air and exposure to sunshine. America’s War Victims Appeal for Your Help -i,. First war poster of the new World War, painted by the distinguished artist James Montgomery Flagg, carries an appeal for a $50,OMMWO war fund to aid the victims of aggression upon the United States and Its Island possessions.

He was again guard­ ing the duke. * * * Delay : New York motorists who travel the Merritt highway, that marvelous Connecticut roadway that starts at the end of Hutchinson park­ way, have been puzzled by being stopped night and morning by red flags while 40 or more cows saunter lazily across. Bugs Baer finally, has' come through with an explanation. It seems that when the highway was built, a farmer living along it re­ tained the right-of-way for his cows to cross twice a day. So, rather than build an underpass, which would run into money, Uie state per­ mits him to hold up all traffic until his herd is safely over the high­ way. Most motorists, particularly those from New York, who use the Merritt highway, are in a hurry. As everyone knows, cows never are. So there is much fretting and fum­ ing on the part of the drivers, all the more so because they pay a dime to use the highway. * * * Far West: At the rodeo in Madi­ son Square Garden, a trim, blonde young womaiy, in a white cowboy outfit and wearing a white 10-gallon hat sat on the chute and cheered the riders, all of whom she knew well. Wifii her was a cowboy, a chunky, solid sort of a man of the open spaces who neither drinks nor smokes. The cowgirl was Sally Rand and the cowboy, her fiance, Turk Greene, the Cheyenne champion. When the rodeo moved on to Bos­ ton, the fan dancer and her cowboy went right along. Some day after their wedding, they intend to settle down on a Montana ranch. • * * Thoughtful: Some time ago, Har­ old Ross, editor of the New Yorker, was entertaining Joe Cook at his country home at Stamford. In the course of a discussion, a question came up which could be settled only by consulting the Bible. Unfortu­nately, the Ross household did not possess a copy of the Scriptures. Cook promised to take care of the deficiency. Apparently he did so by requesting all members of the large cast of the musical show with which he was appearing on the road, to send Ross a Bible. The comics, singers, show girls, chorus girls and others sent Bibles with the result that now in the Ross library, there is a whole shelf full of them. In fact he has so many that recently he made a present of one—a Bible, not a show girl—to one of this de­partment’s alert scouts. • * * Hicks: Visitors needn’t be royal to make New York stare. Any ce­ lebrity will do. The other night at “Candle in the Wind,” Charles Boy­ er was in the audience. Not only did those sitting in the balcony rise to their feet and crowd forward to see him as he passed along the aisle, but occupants of the highest- priced pews stood so that they might give him a gander. And when the play was over, crowds congested the sidewalk in front of the theater until shooed away by cops. 1 Some­times I think there are more hicks in New York than anywhere else. ...

Jones, deceased, BROCK, Atty. ; Raise Air Force To400,000 Men United States Army Steps , Up Training to Readi Goal by June 30. WASHINGTON.—Increasing its 54 combat groups to 84, the army air force is to be expanded by June 30 to 400,000 men, with a subsequent expansion to 500,000 in view. This statement by the war depart­ ment contrasted the new objective with the June 30, 1940, air force per­ sonnel, comprising only 45,914 en­ listed men, 3,322 regular and re­ serve officers and 1,894 flying ca­ dets, a total of 51,130. Secretary. Stimson explained that the aim was to meet “growing re­ quirements for adequate defense of Uie United States and areas within the Western hemisphere vital to that defense.” Some of the groups provided by the new air training program would be assigned to overseas service in the Western hemisphere, the depart­ ment said, but .the bulk of them would be allocated to the air force combat command. Trainer Planes in Plenty. This command includes bombard­ ment, pursuit and reconnaisance groups, and each group is composed of two or more squadrons, depend­ ing on type of equipment and tacti­ cal tasks. Mr. Stimson said he did not know just how many more planes would be required for the enlarged pro­ gram, but said it could be safely assumed that trainer planes were coming along fast enough to insure that it would be fully under way by June 30.Completion of the program, in­ volving the provision of the neces­sary planes, materiel, personnel, bases and equipment presented “a problem worthy of the utmost effort, efficiency and coordination on the part of the army, the army air forces, the aviation industry and the American people,” the department stated. The expansion will be carried-out within the framework of. the pres­ ent army air force, now in process of detailed organization by Maj. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief of this branch. It calls for the training of 30,000 pilots and 100,000 technicians a year. Use Many Schools. The expanded program, the de­ partment stated, would make the army air force one of the world’s largest universities for applied sci­ ence, with a total of more than 100 flying and technical training schools in operation.The training course envisages the use of 41 civilian schools giving 10 weeks of elementary training, 15 military and three civilian schools giving basic training, three flexible gunnery military schools, one civil navigation school, three replacement training centers for pilots, bombar­ diers and navigators, and three nav­igator and six bombardier schools. Technical training of enlisted spe­ cialists will be conducted at 19 oth­ er schools and three replacement training centers. Secretary Stimson also announced a three-fold expansion of the offi­ cers’ training course at Fort Ben- ning in rifle and machine gun use, and new developments in a second program to train over 350,000 civil­ ian employees in army-operated de­fense plants. Average Farm in Texas Increases to 329 Acres AUSTIN, TEXAS--The average size of a farm in Texas is 329 acres,* Charles E. Baughman, chief clerk of the state department of agricul­ ture, has computed. The number of farms has de­ creased in a five-year period and in the same time the average farm size has increased about 55 acres. Baughman’s review of the agri­ cultural situation shows the de­thronement of King Cotton. In a five-year period, cotton acreage de­ creased 1,909,664 acres. Peak of cotton cultivation was 17,700,000 acres in 1926 and the acreage in cotton in 1941 is 8,500,000 acres. Cotton farming has declined more swiftly than other farming, Baugh­ man said in a discussion of the sta­ tistics. While the decrease in file total number of farms (1934-1939) was 83,015, in the same period the number of cotton farms decreased 91,429. “Two-thirds of the farmers em­ ploy the use of only one-third of the land,” Baughman said, “while one-third of the farmers employ the use of two-thirds of the land. Around 428,000 people, whose fam­ ily heads were formerly employed in the production of cotton, have turned to other work, while some 400,000 people have left the farms altogether."

Drag chains weighing 600 tons will help check the ship’s The Alabama has been “launched” time and again in miniature in the David W. Taylor model basin, oper­ ated by the navy under the bureau of ships at Carderock, Md., and every conceivable problem connect­ ed with the actual launching has been studied.Naval architects were letting the model of the 35,000-ton vessel slide down the ways into the basin as long as two years ago, and from these latmchings engineers have collected data which tell them ex­ actly what to expect, when the sister ship of the Massachusetts and the South Dakota actually hits the river. The model tests showed, for ex­ ample, that a possible wave eight feet high might be set up by the battleship, but that the height of the wave in the confined waters of the Elizabeth river probably would not exceed five feet. It was found that unless the mo­mentum of the ship was checked in some way the vessel undoubtedly would crash into the Berkley wharves across the river. That is why the tons of chain drags, placed in 50-ton clumps and secured to pads at the side of the shiD. will be emnlnved. Auto Light Glare Hits Women Worst, Tests Show BERKELEY, CALIF. — Glare blindness caused by automobile headlights lasts longer in women than in men, University of Califor­ nia experimenters reported. Tests were made on 150 students by Dr. C. W. Brown, H. P. Torkel- son and L. B. Fisk, psychologists. A blinding light was flashed into their faces to simulate conditions in night driving. Male students as a group showed a recovery time of almost 10 sec­ onds less than the women. The ex­ perimenters found that the average recovery time for normal vision was 25.2 seconds. PREVENT DISEASE IN DAIRY HERD Good Management, Feeding Will Reduce Losses. By Dr. GEORGE TAYLOR{SsCMSfoa Dsfrymtn, Jtew Jenty College Oi AgTicaJftirtf, Rutgen IfxaVersityO Dabymen should think more in terms of herd health and disease prevention and less In terms of treatment and cures. The value of any dairy animal is dependent primarily upon its health. Prevention of disease is far less costly than disease treatment, and good feeding and management practices can go a long way toward reducing annual losses in dairy herds due to disease.The ration should supply the prop­ er balance of protein, energy, min­ erals, and vitamins. Water is also needed. Quality roughage, including hay, pasture and grass silage, is the most essential item of dairy feed. It is a fair source of calcium and practically the sole source of vita­ mins A and D in the dairy ration. Concentrates which must be fed to satisfy higher levels of production tend to be toxic to a dairy animal. This effect is largely overcome by the feeding of qualify hay when pas­ ture is not available. The long list Of ailments in dairy cattle which can be avoided by good feeding includes goiter, bloat, impaction and loss of appetite. Management ranks with feeding in importance in checking disease. Because, the spread of disease is more rapid in forge herds, the size of the milking unit should be limited to 50 cows or less. Separate quar­ters should also be provided for growing heifers and baby calves. Separate isolation and maternity quarters are also desirable.Sfrict sanitation is a most im­ portant part of management.. Regu­ lar systematic cleaning and disin­ fecting will aid materially in keep­ ing down the causative organisms associated with disease. Dairy animals should be allowed ample exercise under conditions where they may benefit from fresh .air and exposure to sunshine.

Mr. Editor:—Your Reader writes on the turmoil that the world is In Our nation is at the parting of the wavs. Which way, how far and fast the end Wbat will it be? No one seems to know. Most of the leaders seem to think if they had all the world at their command it wOuld be all right. All of them talk alike, we, us and ours, I and me. General Sherman gave war a bad name. Now it is in the air, and is a very interesting subject. When all the machines of death are turn, ed loose it will be tike he said—hell. The worst Is yet to come. There are others who have things up their sleeves besides Hitler. Would that we could see ourselves as others see us. God sees and will deal justly. We have a terrible account to set. tie. We furnished'Japan material to kill the poor Chinese. There are supplies now going to the belllger. ents by every possible way, hand­ ed out the back door. Money mad men are getting rich while they wait. We played the good Sama- ration for the classes while the masses lost. Government of the people, by the people and for the people has been changed to the peo­ ple by and for the government. This A. B. C. business has taken the man out of a lot of folks, so they are just oughts. Mr. Roosevelt used to say that if- his New Deat did not work he might be the last president. He may be. We did not think of a third term then. Things will have to change or we wilt have a dicta tor some of these days. It looksas if we must if we are to play ball He might do as well as anyone. There will be no need of a slogan do this or that to win the war. It will all be lost. Not even a . dog fall. Those wicked, ambitious, selfish men will play the game to a bitter end They have left justice and mercy out. God will finish it, cut it short. In righteousness will destrov them that destroy the earth. Once He said there would be a flood and it came. He said be would de stroy tae worid by fire. Jesns said, as it was in the daysof Lot it wonld be when He came. Just think of conditions in our land. Of Ioe Louis’ mauling the other night—a shame to decencv. The wages of sin is death. ' There is only one way of escape and no one seems to want to try it. It seems that the doom of the poor old world is sealed. It is all writ ten in the books of Joel, 2:9 1 1, Jer. 25 :31-33 . Terrible will it be when God pours out his wrath. It is not all dark and sad. There are many promises to bis people. He saved Lot and Daniel. He is just the same today. When His work is done it will all be done. It is important that all who are not ready get ready. The only safe place is described in Psalms 91. When the war is all over and the clouds clear away there will be bet* ter things for thore who endure to tbe end.

Enoogh Celebration. Montgomery Herald. Quite a bit of criticism was heard from many sides when the town, and friends of 'the boys, failed to give Montgomery county’s first group of draftees a farewell cele bratiou as the group left the town for a year's' training in Selective Service duty. Last week another group, a much larger group, left tor their year’s training. Again tbe departure was rather quiet, and no speeches and no special cere­ mony was held. Again quite a bit of criticism was heard as to the un. patriotic feelings shown by not giv­ ing tbe boys a big send-off. We can’t see, however, that it is so important to have any kind of big celebration to see the boys off for tbeir year of training, and we can’t see that it is showing so much unoatriotic spirit not to have a big ceremony. It’s not as if tbe boys were goinn off to actual battle in warfare,' and it's not if they were going Off to fight across tbe seas. They are merely going to prepare themselves in case we should ever be engaged in war. They will have the privilege of returning home for visits often, and tbeir task is not one of grave danger. What FraokIio Did. When Franklin Roosevelt was elected president in 1932, the per capita debt was $179 The per capita debt will be $485 when the public debt reaches 65 billion dol­ lars, which it is supposed to do this year. This means that every man, Woman and child in the Unitef States is in debt to the tune of near. Iv $500» or more than double what they owned when Herbert Hoover was President. And Mr. Roose­ velt was tbe man who promised to bailance the budget, put every idle, man to work, turn off a bunch of Federal employees reduce 'govern, ment. expenses and legalize the sale ' of liquor. No comment seems to be necessary. Every honest, sober citizen knows what has happened, within tbe past eight years. The Second Birth. My dearly beloved brothren, I want to write this scripture conhern* ing the second birtb of humanity. We realise we are first born in tbe flesh. Tbis is tbe first birtb when we are born into the world. But we must receive the second birtb. “Je­ sus answered and said unto him, verily I sav unto thee, except a man be born again he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” John 3:3. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that Which is born of the spirit is spirit.” John 3:6: I am afraid there are many peo* pie that have not been born again in tbe spirit. The first birth is in the world and the second birth we are bora into God’s kingdom, then we walk after tbe spirit and not after the flesh, and if we walk after tbe flesh we walkafter our own lust and therefore it is death After we have been born of the'spirit we are no longer of the world nor of the flesh but of tbe spirit. Even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot re­ ceive because it seeith Him not. nei­ ther knoweth Him. but we know Him, for He dwelletb with you and shall be in you. John; 14:17. After we are 'born in the spirit God dwelleth in ub, and we in Him. This I say then, walk in the spirit and he shall not fulfill lust of the flesh, for the flesh lusteth against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh.'and these are contrary, so ye cannot do the things tqat ye would. Ga). 5-16:17. . Paul said hr did the things he ought not to do, and left undone the things he should do. We must walkafter the spirit and not after tbe flesh; for we sannot do anything in the flesh tc please God. JesuBtOld his disciples, that they should receive power after the holy ghost cairie upon them, and that they should be witnesses unto Him, both in Jerusalem and in- ail Judse, and in Samaria and unto the utter­ most parts of tbe earth. Acts. 1:8. After we are born in the spirit we receive power from on high, for He said these things. shall ye do. and greater things shall I do, because I go to tny Father. After we haive been born again through the holy spirit and have been baptized with the baptism of the holy ghost and fire, then we have-power to preach the gospel, to cast out devils and to heal all manner of sickness. ' On the day of Pentecost when they were baptized with the holy .ghost, and there appeared unto them clov* en tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them and they were filled with the holy ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the spirit gave them utterance. Acts. 3-3:4. We must be born again or in no wise shall we see tbe kingdom of God. • “Repent ye. therefore, and be converted, that your sins mav be blotted out.” Acts, 3-19. And who­ soever waa not found written in tbe Book of Life, was cast into the lake of fire. Rev. 20:15. So ask yourself the question, has your sins been blotted out, and your name written in the Book of Life, We must be sure our name is writ­ ten there, for the Lord is coming for his redeemed socm, and may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. J. M. SWISHER. Mocksville. R I. Patience Worn Thin. One of the most interesting- parts of the President’s speech-of Decem­ ber 29th. was that in which be dealt with the role of labor in national de. fense. These sentences were espec­ ially significant: ‘‘If our capacity to produce is limited by machines, it must ever be remembered that these machines are operated by the skill and the stamina 0} the workers. As the government is determined to protect the rights of workers, so the nation has a right to expect, that the men who man the machines wiil discharge their full responsibilities to the urgent needs of defense. "The nation ,expects our defense industries to continue operations without interruption by strikes or lockouts. It expects and insists that management and Workers will re­ concile their differences by volun­ tary or legal means, to continue to produce the supplies tbat are so sorely needed ” Tbe American people are patient ButSpatiehce has worn tbin when it comes to the labor racket or the profiteering industrialist. There is no just difference of opinion be­ tween management and labor which cannot be settled by arbitration. There is absolutely no excuse for a strike in a defense industry—and no excuse for that insidious form of Sabotage which is called tbe “slow- down.”—Ex. “Read ’Em and Reap” OUR A D ; Loans To Farmers. A. S. Clay, field supervisor for the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan O65ce, announces tbat emergency crop and feed loans for 194?, are available to farmers in Davie coun. tv, and applications for.these loans are now being received in the of­ fice of F R. Leagans, Mocksville. As in tbe past, these loans will be made to farmers whose cash re­ quirements are small and who are ineligible for a loan from other sources including production credit associations. Money will be loan­ ed to meet the applicant’s neces. sary cash needs for preparing and cultivating his crops or for pur­ chasing or producing feed - for live stock. Borrowers wbo obtain loans for production of cash crops ara re quired to give as security a first lien on the crops financed and, in cases for loans for the purchasing or producing of feed for livestock, a. first lien on the livestock to be fed. Facts Needed. Exactly how many persons in the United States are out of work, and what percentage of this number Ui actually employable? Here are two questions which have been bothering us fur several years, and for whieh we do not yet have the answers. The United States Census Bureau says the number of idle is now ap- pproximately 5.600,000. The Net* ional Industrial Conference Board places the figure at 9,300,000. The CIO says the unemployed total 12,- 000.000. - Obviously there is no value in three different' answers in whieh there is a 6.000,000 variation. The fact is that no one appears to know the answer to this important thing. And it is just as obvious that we can do Isttle about the problem until we have definite idea of ita size. The Federal tiovornment should make real effort to get something like correct figures on the extent of unemployment in the United States. Furthermore, it should determine what' percentage of the idle are em­ ployable, and the number that are unemployable for one reason or an­ other. These reports of millions and millions still without jobs aren't do­ ing pub|ie morale any good, nor fur­ thering the cause of democracy, ac­ cording to the Statesville Record.

C- For the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK Over Americas By LEMUEL F- PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) "NJ EW YORK.—Everybody who of- - fered an elixir vitae betore •Eugen Steinach got much renown and few disputed them. Professor Prof. Steinach ing with ener- LikelySampled gy and full of HisElixirVitae Plans for a long future on his eightieth birthday anniversary, met a harsh challenge from both the lay and professional world, when, 21 years ago, he turned from animal to human experimentation. He was so embroiled in public controversy, .in spite of his scientific aloofness, that the Nobel prize, otherwise his, was withheld from him. But this is all forgotten now as the professor is appraised for his sound contribu­ tion to endocrine research. The Swiss Paracelus, born the year after Columbns discovered America, was perhaps the first physician to explain life as chem- istration, and to set np a process of rejuvenation. His elaborate formula included caustic lime and alcohol, carefully distilled, with a dash of melissa leaves. While he got only 48 years out of this mixture, a stretch which Professor Steinach may easily double, his discovery brought him much more acclaim. The Nazis drove Dr. Steinach out of Vienna in 1938, confiscating his possessions, including his house, li­brary and art collection. He is hap­ pily established again in Zurich, “until better times come back.” He was bom and reared in Vienna, was graduated from medicine at the ,University of Wien in 1886 and, had acquired a world reputation as a physiologist before his sensational experiments of 1920. Many emi­ nent persons in various parts of the world have testified to the effective­ ness of his “reactivation” treatment, among the Adolf Lorenz, the great -Austrian orthopedic surgeon. — • — W HEN the speech of the childrenof Shem was confounded and they couldn’t finish their tower of Babel, they didn’t try singing.

North American folk songs, love songs, and jazz are now heavy exports to Latin-America. Redress­ ing the rhythm balance are the Latin opposite numbers of romance, adventure and syncopation, gaining favor in the U. S. A. Dr. Andre Kostelanetz, famous or­ chestra conductor, who was a pio­ neer of this musical entente, informs this reporter that this cultural ex­ change is working out beautifully. He says American batoneers, radio program directors and song writers are swinging in handsomely. “This is giving South America a better understanding of North America and they are beginning to like us a lot more,” said Dr. Kostelanetz. “Our songs are fil­ tering in everywhere in the Ar­ gentine, Chile, Brazil and 17 other Latin-American republics. We are similarly responding, with Latin melodies being listed among our current musical fa­ vorites. Incidentally, we are learning a lot of hemisphere geography from the songs, and that knowledge is helping us to understand our southern neigh­ bors.”About two years ago Dr. Koste­ lanetz began marshaling a parade of noted orchestra conductors on tours of the Western hemisphere. He be- Heralds Music S nations Sootldng Tongue get snarled fii Upset World other, the international language of music -is a. great help, His own career tends to bear out that theory. Somewhat of an infant prod­ igy, he made his debut as d con­ cert pianist at the age of eight. He was 19 when he applied for a job as assistant conductor of the Petrograd Grand Opera. He played a dozen operas and got the job in spite of his youth. Russia fell into turmoil which not even music could soothe and Dr. Kostelanetz came to the United States; He was almost immediately on tour as an ac­ companist with Metropolitan and Chicago Opera siars. Courting Lily Pons for a long spell made him an airplane addict, a cross-country flight to bestow an or­ chid being just' like a stroll down the street for an ordinarily ground­ ling. After marrying Miss Pons he kept up with both his fly mg and his music, and twice has won the award presented by the nation’s airlines to America’s most traveled plane passenger. 'He thinks music, air­ planes, radio and all agencies ol travel and communications are uni­ fying forces and that they stimulate understanding, against a trend oi confusion and disruption. * ;-------- Above: This photo, made from a short Sunderland, long range reconnaissance flying boat, shows a convoy of merchant ships with food and the sinews of war coming into port in England.

CAROLYN LEE is only six years, but already she has made more money in the movies than most people are able to save in a lifetime. By spring, when her latest picture, “Virginia,” will have been seen by m any people, she should be established as a child star. In “Virginia” she has an im portant role and speaks alm ost as much dia­ logue as the stars, Madeleine Carroll and Fred MacMurray. Yet she can’t read. Her mother reads Carolyn’s lines to the child two or three times, and little Miss Lee commits them to memory. The infant seems to have been shot with luck two years ago; she was in a hotel in Wheeling, W. Va., just a few miles from her home Although the censor does not reveal the city, the name on the train verifies the fact that it is In Canada that these German prisoners (left) are being marched to Hieir train from the prison ship at an east coast port. Right: Some of the thousands of Italian prisoners made captive as the doughty Greek warriors and their assistants, the British, pressed farther and farther into Albania. Der Fuehrer Welcomes New Soviet Envoy & Ir %.■ ■ • This picture, which was approved by the German censors, shows Adolf Hitler, chancellor of Germany, chatting with Wladimir Dekanosow, in the new Reich chancellery, shortly after Dekanosow had presented his credentials as the new ambassador from Soviet Russia to Germany. The German leader is all cordiality. Lion of Judah Leads Revolt k Somewhere in the Sudan, near the Ethiopian frontier, Haile Selassie, “Lion of Judah,” ex-emperor of Abyssinia, inspects some of the troops with which he hopes to overthrow Italian rule and regain control of his empire. Already his revolting tribesmen have been credited with several successes against the Italians. Trouble in Paradise With plenty of snow and nice cold (br-r-r-r) water, Mr. and Mrs. Polar Bear at the Prospect Park zoo, in New Tork city, indulge in a family squabble.

CAROLYN LEE town of Martin’s Ferry, Ohio Shs toddled up to a man, a stranger— and he just happened to be a movie executive. He let her lead him to her mother—and a screen test and a hit in “Honeymoon in Bali” resulted. Fibber McGee and Molly have been signed by RKO to co-star in a picture with Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy; the picture, a feature film, will be produced by David Hempstead, who produced Gmger Rogers’ “Kitty Foyle.” Maureen O’Hara, RKO-Radio’s star from Ireland who is now at work in the leading feminine role of “They Met in Argentina,” recently bade farewell to her mother with the injunction to “bring back a bit of the old sod” and a shamrock. Mrs. Fitzsimmons sailed for Lisbon, but expects to return soon with an­ other gifted daughter.She and Maureen came to this country two years ago, when Mau­ reen made her Hollywood debut in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” “The Bill of Divorcement” and “Dance, Girl, Dance” followed, and Mrs. Fitzsimmons, who used to be an actress herself, is perfectly satis­ fied with her talented daughter’s achievements. How’d you like to act as a target for tomatoes and like it—and even ask for more? That’s what George Michelson spent his time at the oth­ er day, and after the fourth shot he was the happiest man in Holly­ wood. Michelson is assistant property man on James Roosevelt’s “Pot o’ Gold,” and he had to make the to­ mato that James Stewart throws at Charles Winninger. He did it first by filling the- thin, outside skin with a mess of catsup, chocolate sauce and other little items, and then had somebody throw it at him while a camera turned. After the first three smacks Mi- chelson shook his head. “Nope,” he said. “This won’t do. I’ll have to put some whipped cream in it.” So the whipped cream was added, and once more be took a tomato right between the eyes. This time he could- grin—he’d made a photo­genic tomato, one that photographed so well that when it meets up with Winninger on the screen all of us will think it was just the ordinary garden variety. , Fran.

L ' - ' It is a mattetfof tradition that a new and becoming hat ever has and ever will • prove? thfe'most effective first aid in souttdmg the first' joyous note of spring. #;Tlus season fashion goes the idea “bne1 better” with the insistence that a matching handbag complete the picture by. Way of add­ ing drama to the occasion. Try the h a t-an4-m atching-fiandbag-way and you will find that it works like magic in broadcasting the glad tidings of spring. Note the quartette of fetching hat- and-bag ensembles shown in the il­ lustration. Twosomes of this sort are typically “first fashion” news for spring. At the upper right of the group a navy blue stucco braid beret is shown which claims distinc­ tion because of the bright patriotic- colored-strips .which-detail the beret and are--repeated -in- the “nautical knots” ‘ which enliven the navy felt handbag. By the way, navy will be tremendously smart again this sea­ son.To the upper left the problem of matching hats . and handbags; has been eliminated by two well-known American designers. Glear synthet­ ic strips; laced through the Howard Hodge hat and the Nat Lewis hand­ bag subtly emphasize harmony of colors and materials. In the popu­late South American; manner the hat of artichoke straw has a high pleat - 1 ed crown .of .the'same flame red felt used for the' handbag. Below to the; right black felt and spaghetti braiding is manipulated into a new version of: the fashionable off-the-^ace piJlbox: with ,its low-tied bow of' the. ;braid, repeated in'- the' laced-handbag.'?

A matching?petal-shirred envelope bag completes this distinctive' ac­ cessory ensemble. The supremacy- of accessories in the spring mode carries courage and inspiration in the thought tbit the .movement is being aided and abetted by the very highest style- creative talent in all industries that pertain to fashion in women’s ap­ parel. The whole trend is to cor­ relate and to .co-ordinate costume detail. To this end designers, man­ufacturers and merchants are en­ thusiastically working together to co-ordinate color, material and style motif. Byway of suggestionwhen you go accessory seeking, look tip the new tiger yellows and browns, the many smart,greens, the beiges, ; Peruvian pink, the new pastel jewel colors, and reds are -bolder and brighter than -ever.

Jewelry Innovation Adds Chic to Frocks A new development hi the jewelry realm is clips that come in series from two to three, four or five. They vary in size and are worn along a neckline or are clipped or pinned to sweep down one side of the bodice like a flock of little birds. Another, version of-the jewel series is interpreted in several clips that may be worn singly, in a series or fastened together to' form one im­portant individual-looking piece. Siich is the new lotus flower clip. One clip may be the flower, an­ other the bud still another the fo­ liage. Wear them separately and they serve many purposes, fasten them together (they are made to do just that) and you have one impos­ ing piece of jewelry to wear with* your evening gown. ' The idea is carried on in some in­ stances to include matching' finger ring and earrings. Main Street Gone From Fashion World “ There is no more Main Street in Fashion,” declared Mrs. Wilhela Cushman, fashion editor of Ladies Home Journal, before a conven­ tion of retailers.and manufacturers who recently held their spring na­ tional shoe fair in Chicago. Mrs. CUshman says she has found in her travels of 20,000 miles in the past that Main street and Fifth avenue meet- and now launch simultaneously the. same advance fashions. Declaring that this season "a cos­ tume will be made by its acces­ sories,” Mrs. Cushman said that bags will be bigger, softer and more . colorful. In footwear, the news is of softer shoes. There is a new softness about the leather used. The seamless glove will also be featured this season, she added. FIRST-AID to the AILING HOUSE by Roger B. Whitman (0 Boger B, Whitman—WBtJ Service.) Ugbtning Rods. QUESTION: What value do you consider lightning rods have In protecting country houses? In mak­ ing an installation, what are the es- - sential things to look out for? Where can I get information? Answer:. Modern lightning rods and their; connections .are reliable and give adequate protection. The National Board of Fire Underwrit­ ers, 222. West Adams St., Chicago’, issues a pamphlet describing the needs. There is also Si government pamphlet; Farmers’ Bullletm 1512, “Protection of Buildings and Farm Property From Lightning,” . to be had from the Superintendent of Doc­ uments, Washington,; for five cents. Condensation From Gas. Question: ' My house is frame, with brick lining and plaster. - Smce using natural gas, the house sweats. In the kitchen and bathroom water drips off the ceilings and runs down the walls. Can you suggest some­ thing to overcome this? Answer: When natural gas is burned, great quantities of water va­ por are formed. If this vapor goes into the air of the house, there will be condensation when the warm and damp air is chilled by contact with cold, surfaces: Very evidently the kitchen, and bathrpom ceilings are cold, probably because they are un­ der an unheated attic. Insulation in the attic floor will keep the ceilings-, warmer, and there will be less con­ densation. You can get over the trouble in another way, by connect­ ing all gas burners to flues that will carry the water vapor outdoors. Lawn Ants.Question: My lawn is fairly rid­ dled with holes around which are swarms of small brown ants, and a larger variety-with wings. Could these be termites? How can I get rid of them? And how can a lawn be cleared of Japanese beetle grubs? Answer: Those insects are not termites; they are varieties of ants. ,Ant traps of different kinds can be had at a hardware or garden store; these or some other ant poison scat­ tered around a lawn will get rid of the trouble, for the worker ants will carry the poison back to the queens on the nests. A lawn can be cleared of Japanese beetle grubs with ar­ senate of lead, which, however, must .Ue handled with' great care because it is poisonous, and can kill your pets and birds as well as the grubs. -The usual method is to mix with four times as much sand, to scatter it over the lawn, and then wash it into die ground with a hose. Warped Floor Boards. Question: On advice of a contrac­tor, who guaranteed that moisture would not come through, an oak floor was laid in asphalt mastic on a concrete slab laid on the earth. Moisture has come-through, and the floor has buckled ; so greatly as to be of no use. How can this condi­ tion be taken care of? What kind of flobring'suitable for a living room would be successful. Answer: If your- contractor is re­ sponsible, you should hold him to his guarantee. The floor can be made waterproof by taking up the boards, putting down one or two thicknesses of .heavy, impregnated felt, and re­ laying the floor with mastic , on top of the felt. The trouble seems to be in the thinness of-the coat of masticj and the fact that the water­ proofing felt was omitted. Care ot Floors. Question: Having recently pur­ chased a new home with hardwood floors, we would like to know how to take the proper care of them, and if Water can be used to dean them, or if it turns them dark. Answer: It'is advisable to wax the floors with paste floor wax. Clean regularly with a dry bruslj or mop; never use an oil mop. Take; up dirt with liquid wax—not water wax—or with a cloth slightly damp with water, and immediately wipe dry. Apply new wax once every few; months or when wear begins to show! at doorways and other points of heavy traffic. Use a polisher at' least once a week. Do not use water on a hardwood floor, for it may make black spots. Ping-pong Table. Question: What are the correct dimensions for a ping-pong table? -What wood should be used? Answer: For a really good tennis table—and no other quality should be considered—the details of con­ struction will take much more space than I can give. Plans of a table tennis outfit may be secured from the Handicraft de­ partment, P. 0. Bcx 75, Station O, New York, N. Y., on payment of 10 cents (in coins). Liquid Wax Stain. - Question: A bottle of liquid furni­ ture wax was overturned and made quite a large stain on a fiber rug. What whl take it out? Answer: Somekinds ofwax can be taken out. with hot water, so that should be die first attempt. If it does not work, the wax can be dis­ solved by any liquid spot remover.FiatBeof. - - Question: What material wouldyou recommend for a flat roof? .

BREAKFASTS TO GET THE FAMILY UP "The nice thing about breakfasts” said one newlywed, “is that you don’t have to plan them, you just serve them.” Although it is possible to get a breakfast with whatever there is atband in the line of ,toast, coffee, and fruit juices', a little plan­ ning does yield big. dividends. For it is planning Uiat makes pos­ sible the breakfast specialties that get the laggards out of bed in the morning—and down to eat before they go. And that’s important, be­ cause they miss the Vitamin C in the orange or tomato juice when Uiey skip breakfast, the Vitamin B in the whole grain cereal, the iron in the egg yolk, which aren’t always made up later in the day. A sketchy, hurried breakfast, or none at all, accounts, too, for some of that mid-morning fatigue. It’s a long time to go without food, from six o’clock of one night until noon of the next day. Here, then, are some breakfast menus, and some recipes for new breakfast special­ ties, that are guaranteed to get the family out of bed in the morn­ ing. Just let them get one whiff of a platter of shiny brown sausages garnished with orange slices, like Uiat in the picture above, and no coaxing will be need­ ed to get them down to breakfast.

Foiiy-Eighth Anniver­ sary. .The editor of The Record is this week celebrating-his 48th anniver­ sary in the newspaper business. . Forty eight years ago, on Feb. 17, 1893, this writer entered • the old Hickory Mercury office, at Hickory, as office “devil,” and set bis first tvpe. That was in the days before the lynotype, the elec­ tric or power press, when every thing was done by hand in a news­ paper office. At that time the Charlotte Observer was a four page dally paper, all set by hand, print­ ed on an old fashioned press either run by steam or man power. The Hickory Mercury xras printed on a Campbell press at a speed of about 500 copies per hour. Many changes have taken place in the newspaper business during the 48 years. Many have been for tbe best, while a few have been otherwise. Many of tbe old fashion­ ed editors who were not afraid to 'tell the truth, let the chips fall where taev mav,” have been called to their reward. Tbe old-fashion­ ed editor didn’t whip the devil a- round tbe stump. He expressed his opinion on all subjects, and oc­ casionally had to keep his gun on bis desk to repel assaults by those who disagreed with him and bis vi«»ws. The Record man has had many trials and tribulations to contend with In tbe past 48 years, but has never been in jail, never took a threshing for expressing his) honest opinion and is still trying to do what he can to leave behind him a better town, county and stale in which to live.

ProcterTalksTo School Men. Sapt. R. S. Praetor, of the Davie county schools, who was the princi­ pal speaker at the Iredell county School masters’ Club held Monday evening at 6:30 o’clock at St. John’B Lutheran church, gave a timely dis­ cussion on the subject of “Guid ance.” Mr Procter defined Guidance as a school plan to assist pupils in the so­ lution of their problems. ,He stated that practically all tbe problems of the pupils centered around or had to do with their vocational choices, so­ cial contacts, physical needs, environ­ ments, civic developments and ethi­ cal conduct. The speaker pointed out that these problems may Be em­ phasized under three heads: (I) EMucationaI guidance; (2) Academic courses, particularly to fit pupils ac­ cording to their needs and abilities; (3) Vocational guidance emphasiz­ ing vocations in which pupils are best qualified to enter. Mr. Procter concluded his address with emphasis on the fact that no program of gui­ dance iB possible without a know­ ledge of the pupils in all of the a- bove named realms of activity. Prior to coming to Davie county, Mr. Proctor was superintendent of the Craven county schools and has been active in the program of guid­ ance with the schools over which he has’presided, flis ideas were well received by the Iredell group and were considered of great practical value. Tbe' program was heartily approved, the consensus , of opinion being that guidance should be made a part of tbe work of the high schools nut the State. — Statesville Daily, Feb. 11th.

VAN DEW ATEit CHAPTER XVIII—Continued. —19— , “Intelligent people!” Cochrane grinned. “But you missed some­ thing this morning. The Sphere had a picture of lone Ferriter. I sus­ pect that our competitor, Mr. Duke, bribed some cop to steal it from the flat across the hall. Anyway—he ' ,tied a knot in my tail, or thought he did. Now I’m ready to tie two in his.” He paused to enjoy the drama of suspense. The doorbell thwarted him Shannon strode into the room. His companion lingered in the hall, 6atchel in hand. The Captain glared at Cochrane, who beamed in reply, and whatever question he was about to ask concerning the reporter’s presence was blown away by Miss Agatha’s voice. “I sent for you, Captain,” she said precisely, “because we have found the knife that stabbed Mr. Ferriter’s visitor.” At my side I heard Jerry grunt. He uttered no other sound while Shannon rapped out questions and . Miss Agatha replied as calmly as though she were giving census in­ formation. The Captain strode to the table and gingerly undid the handkerchief. “Yes,” he grunted, almost as though he regretted it, “it looks like it.” He held it by forefingers pressed to point and butt and turned it this way and that. “Blood,” he proclaimed, and I never knew before how ugly that word could be. “As for finger­ prints—" He wheeled and glared at me. “You didn’t wipe it, or mess it up, did you?” he barked.Miss Agatha’s voice cut: “Mr. Mallory and I found it to­ gether as I told you. If we had wished to suppress evidence, we should have suppressed it entirely.” The bullying note left Shannon’s yoice as she looked at him. “Right you are, Miss Paget,” he granted and turned to his assistant. “We’ll be going over it, Al. Miss Paget, is there a bathroom handy? .We’ll make a bit of a mess here.” Miss Agatha rang for Annie. They followed the maid down the hall. Cochrane looked reproachfully at me and more sympathetically at aunt and niece, who sat still and stiS in their anxiety. The silence grew unbearable. Jerry said at last: ' “And I thought I had hold of some-: thing!” Allegra did not seem to hear him. Rigid and intent she watched the doorway. Miss Agatha asked: "And it has no importance now?” Cochrane' had forgotten his pre­ tense of indifference. He frowned and shrugged. “It may, or it may not,” he grum­ bled, “according to what Shannon finds on that knife. Dave has told you of the mysterious siren who called on him?” “No,” said Miss Agatha wryly, “I’ve always understood gentlemen don’t talk of such things.” Cochrane grinned at her in admi­ ration. I muttered: “It didn’t seem important.” “That was one of the things,” Jer­ ry went on, “that made me think it might be The night our bright young friend was jumped in the basement, the night that knife was lost, Dave had a call from a dark young woman who wouldn’t leave her name with the landlady, good Mrs. Shaw, ho has a stern sense of virtue and, what is better, an eagle eye and an elephantine memory. “Because,” said Cochrane, resinn­ing his sleepy air, “she has recog­ nized the picture of lone Ferriter in ti e Sphere as Dave’s would-be vis­ it-ir. .There seems to be no ques­ tion about the identification. Mrs. S' aw is positive. Why should Lyon Fcrriter’s beloved sister want tojsee you, Dave?” " -'2' Allegra looked at me and turned a\.-ay. I did not answer at once. Her glance and the derisive empha­ sis laid by Cochrane on “beloved” hud thrust an idea into my mind. It was so fantastic that I tried to evict it but it stayed while I said: “You can search me.” “That’s been done already,” Coch­ ran crooned, “by the late Mr. Ferr riter who was looking for that very knife. Dave, could it have been a woman in the basement that night?” His question chimed in so neatly with the idea I had branded as idi­ ocy that I gaped at him a moment. -“I don’t know,” I answered at last. “No?" Cochrane asked. “I just wondered, Dave. Don’t let it agi­ tate you, laddie.” But the question had rocked me. The wonder it had started did not subside and I heard, with odd in­difference, the clump of feet as Shannon and his aid came along the ball. Miss Agatha’s head, went up. I could see by Allegra’s stiff face how tightly she held herself and even Cochrane forgot to look tired. . The thrust of Shannon’s jaw, the little narrowed eyes that darted at each of us were ominous. He car- ' ried the knife no longer gingerly, ; even a little ’ scornfully. ; Np one dared to pry into his silence, until : Cochrane drawled: • “All right. I’ll ask it. What did find, Captain?” ’flSS^bttiiiig,” ‘ said' Shannon in a iibieak "eice. I heard Allogra let go her breath. Miss Agatha repeated, almost in satisfaction: “Nothing?” Shannon said to her: “That's prob­ ably blood on the blade. There are no fingerprints at all.” Cochrane hummed beneath his breath. Shannon glared at him, and went on, with aimless anger: “There’s a mark on the hilt that might have been made by the fin­ gers of a damp glove—a lady’s glove.” Jerry glanced at me and let his eyes slide quickly away. The silence that followed was strangely filled With relief and disappointment. Miss Agatha mused aloud: “He is very clever.” “Who?” Shannon snapped. She seemed to hear suspicion of her nephew in the query. Her face hardened and she spoke slowly and purposefully. “The murderer,” she told the Cap­ tain.' “Or if you want me to name him, Lyon Ferriter.” Shannon flinched at the word. “How do you know?” “How do I know?” asked Miss Agatha coldly. "How does Mr. MaI- Allegra looked at me and turned away. lory khow? How do you know your­ self, Captain Shannon? By some­ thing that’s worthless in court. Lyon Ferriter killed that man. He used that knife you hold. I don’t know why. Perhaps to protect that pre­ cious sister of his, for whose sake he’s willing to let an innocent and foolish boy play scapegoat.” At each word Miss Agatha spoke in her bitter, careful voice, my mad idea grew more normal in shape and color. It drove me to speech, but Shannon’s harsh voice rode over my words. “Miss Faget, whether you’re right or wrong, no one can say. That was my own thought at first and now—” He shrugged. Cochrane completed it for him: “And now,” he said softly, “when you announce you’ve found the mur­ der weapon, but no clue to how it got in the basement, or who left it there, you’re through—whipped, out­witted, scuttled. Mr. Ferriter, who hasn’t been sure where that knife has been, wins. He’ll-sleep easier from now on.” “All right,” Shannon snarled in angry helplessness; “that’s like most of the newspaper suggestions. It’s a help, isn’t it? What would you do, wise boy?”Cochrane shook his head. I (ieard Miss Agatha say: “I know what I’d do." We looked at her. Her face was hard and her voice, that spoke what I had feared to utter, was firm: “If Lyon Ferriter has a weakness, It is his love for his sister. I think he can be reached by attacking her.” Shannon had not the sort of brain that is fired by. abstract theory. There was scorn in his grunt. “Would you then? And how?” If the old lady’s suggestion had roiled his mind, it had clarified mine. Her speech had been a. key, unlocking the door of my mind be­ hind which that wild, originally fan­ tastic idea had waited. I said, be­ fore Miss Agatha could speak again: “Arrest lone Ferriter.” I had uttered her thought. I saw her start and look at me in wonder. “Arrest her?” Shannon jeered. For what?” His crooked smile was mocking. Allegra’s eyes widened. Cochrane looked at me as though he were dozing. I' stood their combined re­ gard. ‘For murder. For the murder of Blackbeard. There’s enough to make it stick—for a while.” • “For a while,” the policeman ech­ oed in derision, Miss Agatha said quickly, sitting straight and flushed ip her wheel chair: “Captain Shannon, Lyon Ferriter killed that man. I know it. Mr. Mallory knows it. You suspected it at first. But you could not reach him. His story, his alibi, had no apparent weakness. Yet he has a weakness. It is his love for bis sister.” Shannon stared as though he won­ dered whether she had lost her ihind. I prodded him further 'wn.ii. service “Through her you can hit him where it’ll hurt most. If you’re game to cany through a bluff, you may break.him.” Cochrane had caught my inten­ tion. I heard him mutter blasphe­ mous approval. I felt Allegra’s eyes on me,, but I watched the police­man’s smoldering doubt. “It’s your one chance,” I told him. “Take it or leave it.” Miss Agatha started to speak. Then she checked herself and I knew her nod meant that she surrendered her plan—our plan—to , my keeping. Shannon rumpled his hair and took two uneasy strides away from the desk. I started, to. .speak again. He said: “Wait’a'minute.' Al, close that door from the outside and don’t let anyone com^'near it.” : T : CHAPTER XIX I It: took an hour to bend Shanncm to the mad purpose. Miss Agatha and Cochrane were my allies. They followed my lead and, at need, took the lead themselves. We hammered the Captain with reasons, prodded him with persuasion, while he walked the floor as though he sought cover from our argument. AU through the clash of voices and pur­ poses, Allegra sat silent beside her aunt; but, the pent excitement reached her, - Severity left her face. Color came to it and her eyes woke Up and moved .quickly from speaker to speaker. Sight of her helped me. stand up to Shannon.From the second when I lifted my voice, I knew' the, least faltering would emphasize the desperate fan­ tasy,I put forward. At first I feigned confidence, linking fact to fact in ar­ bitrary unioh. Then, as ,I spoke, I converted myself. It seemed as though speech washed , away mys­ tery to bare at least coherent, out­lines. ' Cochrane sat beside me. His in­ nocent face was drowsy but his nim­ ble mind kept pace with mine, en­dorsing my contentions, supplying pointed comment when Shannon balked. Miss Agatha said little, but her rare words cut. We outraged the policeman’s Sense of propriety and stripped that from him. We pried his mind loose from official procedure.. He withstood us stub* bomly, tramping to and fro, rum­ pling his hair, now and then shak­ ing bis head like a fly-pestered horse. He took that , 'afternoon the sweating he and his associates had dealt to many. “It’s—it’s illegal,” he blurted at last with, a cornered air and glared at Cochrane who chuckled. “So,” Jerry drawled, “is a length of rubber hose.”It was luck more than logic that broke Shannon at last. He raked his hair and shook his head again. “Maybe," he granted, "it would make a' good movie. Biit the girl has an alibi. You can’t get over that. Somebody downstairs—Hoyt it was, saw her come in.” I got up. “If that’s all that gags you,” I said, ‘T il see Hoyt. He’ll back our play. His story will be that he didn’t want to get a lady intq trouble.” I did not wait for Shannon’s ob­ jection but opened die door,'almost upsetting Al who guarded it;'I found Hoyt at the switchboard. I told him, as quickly as I could, what I wanted and why. He gasped and boggled and at last consented, when I reminded him of his earlier offer of aid. Then he whispered some­ thing that sent me hoi-footing it up the stair again. I saw when .I: re-entered the work­room that Shannon wavered.“Personally, Captain Shannon,” 'Miss Agatha was saying, “I place justice above orthodoxy. The mur­ der was unconventional.- Why shouldn’t the arrest be equally so? I know he did it. You think he did. If he didn’t, lone or Everett' did and the two survivors are accesso­ ries after and, perhaps, before the fact. Are you always so—wedded to legal formality, Captain?” Cochrane leaned forward. “Listen,” he wheedled, , “what can you lose? Say it doesn’t click. Se what? Are you worse off? It’s • crazy idea. Sure. But so is this whole set-up. We’re trying to give you the chance to tear this case wide open—and solo at that. Do you want to be just a captain all your life?” Allegra was watching me. ,She alone in the room seemed to feel the tidings I bore. Shannon spoke with the muffled roar of-the'.hard- pressed. “All right. Suppose I go goofy and throw in with you? How are you gon­na work it? Tell me that! Call up Lyon—at the Babylon—and say, ‘Can we bother you to come on down here so we can tell you what we’ve got on your sister, before we make a collar?’ ” In the silence he glared about and breathed loudly through his nose. I said as. quietly as I could: “If that’s all that’s worrying you, Lyon is next door now. He came in a while ago, Hoyt says.” “By God!” Shannon said at last in an unwilling voice. I went on: “Eddie will ask him to stop in here, when he starts tc go. You might send your man down­stairs just to make sure that. h« does.” Shannon wavered for the. law time.' Then he squared his shout ders, inhaled like one entering i cold ,plunge and called: “Al!”(TO BE COSTINl Km T o p ic s SOIL FERTILITY VITAL TO .U. S. KAtional Securify Requires Productive Land., By PROF. J. C. CHAPMAN (Dopartmont of Agtonomyr Univorsity of .Wisconsin) American agriculture is coming to realize toat a national defense pro­ gram against the. forces'of soil de­ pletion and exploitation is just as vital to the futures of this country as. defense against !foreign aggression. • In every ,past age soil fertility has- played a dominant part. Succeed­ ing civilizations have sought and; fought for fertile lands.that would' provide food and clothing. The restlessness of the earth’s early inhabitants, their migrations and invasions of new countries were in most instances due to the deple­ tion of the soils in their own coun­ tries and a desire'to acquire and settle the more fertile areas of the then-known world. It was not until comparatively re­ cently that the development of the science of soil chemistry taught the nations of the world how to main­ tain soil fertility on their lands. Of recent date, too, is the rec­ognition by Americanqgriculture of the dangers of soil exhaustion in this country. Farmers have come to realize that every year they are selling plant food from their land in the form of cash crops, dairyj products and live stock. They have discovered that even in a system of live stock farming where all the crops are fed to stock and the ma­ nure returned to the fields,, they are losing fertility at an alarming rate. Everywhere we. have been drawing checks on our bank account—the SOU —and spending and using our fer­tility much faster than we have been replacing it with plant foods. The hopeful fact in our situation, however, is that farmers in increas­ ing numbers are becoming aware of the seriousness of these losses and are taking steps to prevent them. They are wing lime and fertilizers and following soil and crop manage­ ment practices that will restore the native productiveness of their farms. This national defense program against the forces of soil depletion is steadily gathering momentum. It is being spunred forward through the co-operation of the federal govern­ ment, the AAA, the state agricul­ tural colleges, and farmers’ organi­ zations everywhere. The war against soil exhaustion gives prom­ ise of final victory. Capons Require Special Care Before Marketing Where capons are being fattened for market they should be fed a regular growing ration and plenty of whole grain, which should be hop­ per fed. Clean quarters and range are important. Close confinement should be avoided. A clean open field with protection from the weath­ er, such as that afforded by a good range shelter, is ideal. During the last couple of weeks before marketing, it will pay to feed a wet mash twice a day consisting of growing mash and milk or whole grain soaked in milk in addi­tion to the usual ration. Such feed­ ing will improve the quality of the birds, but actual poundage is made by keeping them on a full and com­ plete growing ration throughout the summer and fall months. - 'Worms should be strictly guarded against, tapeworms in particular, since worniy capons simply refuse to get fat. If the birds are wormy, they should be treated without fail. After which, they should be removed to a clean range. " ' . Mulch of Pine Needles Reforests Eroded Field Pine needle mulch can sometimes be used to reforest old fields or clay gall areas, recent experiments at the Southern Piedmont Soil Conservation Experiment station at Athens, Ga., show. Seeking an economical way of seeding eroded areas, the station mulched four clay-galled plots with 800 pounds of pine-needle litter from adjacent woods. In five months a healthy mixed vegetation devel­ oped;’ including more than 1,600 shortieaf seedlings—an average of two seedlings from each pound of mulch.The study will observe for several years the survival and height growth of the seedlings, resulting from this simple and inexpensive scattering pine-needle'litter over the bare area to a depth of about one inch.' If only one-fourth of the existing seedlings live for five years, the, area will be well planted. Farm.Notes. Onions and garlic;were common in the diet of the ancient Egyptians.

JESDS CALLS TO PRAYER ; LESSON TEXT—Luke 18:1-14.GOLDEN TEXT—Lord, teach us to pray. —Luke 11:1. Imitations may be so clever as to cause us to marvel, but to the one who knows the real thing, they are “just imitations.” Particularly is that true in the realm of the spiritu­ al. Make-believe faith in God fools only the hypocrite and those who know as little as he does of real Christianity. Prayer is undoubtedly the great­est privilege of the Christian, put­ ting him and his life in touch with the omnipotence of God. But it must be real prayer, not just some formal exercise which masquerades under the name of prayer. We combine the two parables of our lesson to contrast prevailing prayer and pow­ erless prayer. I. Prevailing Prayer. The prayer which really lays hold upon God and brings results must be the expression of a life of prayer. It is no occasional effort brought about by a great need or a deep sorrow. We must pray 1. Without Ceasing (v. I). Jesus had just been talking of the trying days which were, to come (Luke 17:26-30). To stand fast for Christ in a day when almost all the influ­ences are against such faith, a man needs real prayer or he will surely faint. To pray constantly is not neces­ sarily to be saying the words of prayer,, but is the outreach of the life toward God, the setting of our minds on things . above. That we can and may do at all times and in all places. 2. With Assurance (w . 2-9). If an unjust judge will respond just to escape the constant plea of a widow, we may rest assured that God, who is just and looks upon His people in loving-kindness, will not fail to respond to their plea. He says, “Call unto me, and I will an­ swer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” (Jer. 33:3). 3. Xn Humility (w . 13, 14). We come to God, not to demand, but to humbly plead the blood of Jesus Christ. That was what the publican did. When he said, “Lord, be mer­ ciful,” he used the word “propitiat­ ed,” which refers to the mercy seat on which the blood was sprinkled as a propitiation for sin (see Exod. 25:17, 18, 21; Heb. 9:5; Lev. 16:5). Such a plea brought salvation to tile repentant sinner. n. Powerless Prayer. ■ We use the word prayer here in the broad sense, for strictly speak­ ing there is no such thing as prayer without power. Men call it prayer, but it accomplishes nothing because it is offered 1. In Self-sufficiency (w. 9, 11). Those- who trust “in themselves” will naturally do what the Pharisee did; be “prayed with himself.” “He had an intellectual conviction, but that does not make a contact with God. Hell is full of intellectual con­ viction. God? Oh, yes. But he was so occupied with himself he could not get away from himself” (Mor­gan). 2. With Boastful Pride (w . 9, 11, 12). Despising others, the Pharisee boasted of his own fine character and good works. “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble” (James 4:6). It is prop­ er that a man should live uprightly, but if it only makes him self-right­eous it becomes a barrier between him and God (Luke 18:14). 3. For the Sake of Publicity (v. 11, Cf. v. 13). While the publican hung his head and stood afar off to offer his prayer, the Pharisee ap­ parently took a prominent place and spoke with a loud voice. Jesus de­ scribed that kind of prayers in Mat­thew 6:5 as just putting on a pub­ licity ‘‘stunt." When men had seen them pray, the transaction was fin­ ished. They had not been in touch with God at all. The result of the two-prayers is so well described by Dr. J. Camp­ bell Morgan that we quote his words: “Two men at prayer. One, elo­ quently, in phrases circling round his own personality with which he was pre-eminently pleased. The oth­ er, bating his sin, and grasping out after the infinite and tender com­passion of God to operate for him. . . . The man who justified him­self remained unjustified. The man who sought the compassion of God went back to his house justified.” There Is Another Life I cannot believe, and cannot be brought to believe, that the purpose of our creation is fulfilled- by our short existence here.

A dvertisin Q Costs Nobodv Anything Through advertising the produ­ cers and distributors get their returns in the increase in busi­ ness, for it has brought about mass production, mass distribu­ tion and mass buying. It doesn’t cost the consumer anything and it saves time in buying without so much shopping around. It is the best method of promoting sales and has made it possible for ordi­ nary people to enjoy many convenien­ ces through mass production that other­ wise only the rich could afford. An ad in The Record goes into hund­ reds of honttes in Davie and adjoining counties and will more than pay the cost of the investment.

N EW YORK.—For four or five years now, Dr. J. Enrique Zanetti, professor of chemistry in Columbia university, has been pooh- poohing high Lists Ftre Bom b e x p l o s i v e A s Head Devil of bom bs and Destructive M ight ^nd ger oil the incendiary bomb as the head devil of the hosts of destruc­ tion. Just out is his book, “The ABC of Incendiaries,” in which he insists that current European bomb­ ing forays are pretty clumsy busi­ ness, since the high explosives con­ stitute a defense against the spread of fibre started by the incendiaries. Remembering how they blew up buildings to check the spread of the big San Francisco fire, one finds the professor’s idea plausible. Dr. Zanetti was a lieutenant colo- . nel of the chemical warfare service in World war No. I, and from 1922 to 1926 was a consulting expert of the League of Nations in studies of chemical warfare. Supplementing this experience with academic and industrial studies of many years, he has become a world authority on bombs and what to do about them if anything. His m ain idea is th a t gas dis­ sipates and fire proliferates— therefore look out for incendiary bom bs. In January, 1936, he w rote in a university publication th at fire bom bs would be the w orst peril of the next big w ar. Two-pound fire bom bs could be sprayed over a city and one ef­ fective hit out of 200 dropped m ight sta rt 200 fires in widely separated places. He cries down alarm ists about gas. He thinks it would be just as well to do a w aj w ith slum s, as a de­ fense m easure because of their vulnerability to fire. Dr. Zanetti was born in Santo Do­ mingo in 1885, came to the U.S.A. in 1900, was naturalized in 1906 and in 1907 took his doctorate from Har­ vard university. He joined the Co­ lumbia university faculty in 1913, and has held a full professorship since 1929. celebrated at the Santa Ani­ ta track in California, to A ple a sa n t change of subject, from fire bombs, is Tom Smith, a ball of fire in his way, but one everybody likes. Seabiscuit day , . . _ was recentlySeabtscait Owes A ll to This Horse Psycho -Analyst honor the greatest money-winning horse of all time. His trainer, the silver-haired Tom Smith, probably was inconspicuous, as usual, but without him there would have been no Seabiscuit saga of speed, dollars and romance. “Silent Tom,” as they call him around the tracks, was a rodeo rid­ er, cowhand, prospector and black­ smith in Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. About four years ago, Charles S. Howard, later owner of Seabiscuit, hired him to train the Howard stable, then unknown to fam e.. The new trainer discovered Seabiscuit on an out-of-the-way New England track and persuaded Mr. Howard to buy him for $8,000. The horse has earned $437,730. M r. Sm ith is probably the only horse psycho-analyst in the w orld. He w as about three years old w hen he started being a horse-w rangler and learned things about horses that nobody else ever suspected. N aturally, he becam e an am ateur veteri­ narian, but psychology helped a lot in bringing through Seabis­ cuit. The nag w as fussy and given to brooding.. Long before, Tom had learned th at pleasant com panionship is necessary for horse w ell-being. A fter a few ex­ perim ents, he picked for Seabis- cuit’s 1 stablem ate an am iable old sw aybacked roan nam ed P ete. They nickered and m uz­ zled each other happily and Sea- biscuit began to pick off purses. Of course w hat happened w as th a t Seabiscuit's ego w as bucked up by having som ebody around he knew he could beat. “Silent Tom” is 50 years old. Among other winners he has trained for the Howard stable are Mioland and the wild-eyed Kayak TI, brought from the Argentine by Mr. Smith’s son, Lin. He has about 200 horses to hapdle and study.

He “frisks” them —not of th eir guns, but of their w rist w atches. - Here’s the reason. The other day Robert Taylor was playing a scene in the back room of a saloon. Also in the scene were Gene Lockhart, as the bad man, Lon Chaney Jr., Norman Willis, Grant Withers and several western type extras. With hand on the door about to exit, Tay­ lor spoke his line—“What time is it?” L ockhart w as about to m ake the reply called for by the script w hen D irector D avid M iller called “ C ut!” One of the bearded extras had for­ gotten w here he w as and autom ati­ cally pulled back his cuff to look a t his very m odem w rist w atch. “Gone With Ona Munson the Wind” started on a career of what she’s afraid will de­ velop into type cast­ ing, thd bugaboo of actors. She did “Belle Watling” in “Gone — etc.” and then played another “shady lady” in the picture “ W agons W estw ard.” Now she’s set for the same sort of part in “Lady From New Orleans,” a story laid in the period of the Louisiana Purchase. It’s a re­ lief to her to do those “Big Town” broadcasts with Edward G. Robinson. O naM unson Naturally, everything possible is going to be done to put Shirley Tem­ ple back at the top of the star list when she goes to work for Metro.'

Horace Heidt has finally escaped his reputation as "the man with the trained dog.” Before his orchestra hit the national networks and Heidt’s name became a synonym for scintil­ lating syncopation, Horace had a vaudeville act featuring Lobo, an amazing dog.

FIRSTlAID to the AILING HOUSE b y R o g e j j l l i i l m o n (ft B oger B . 'Whitman—WNU Service.) Closing a Som m er House. \\^ H E N closing'a house for som e * ' tim e in cold w eather, there are several precautions and prepara­ tions to be m ade. The following are som e of them : w ater supply pipes should be thoroughly drained. F irst, shut off the w ater, then open all faucets. W ater supply pipes should be disconnected a t the point w here w ater enters th e house. Som e of the pipes m ay still contain w ater, how­ ever; for there a re ap t to be places w here a pipe sags, from which w a­ te r cannot drain out. These places should have the w ater blown out by an a ir pum p applied to the differ­ ent faucets. A q u art or two of kerosene should be poured into each sink, w ashbasin, and other plum bing fixtures to fill the traps. The kerosene w ill not freeze, and sew er gas w ill be pre­ vented from entering. R em ove as m uch w ater as possible from toilet bowls w ith a sponge before pour­ ing the kerosene. Syphon je t toilets have cavities containing w ater that cannot be rem oved w ith a sponge; these should be em ptied w ith a syringe. H ot w ater o r steam system s should be drained and left em pty. If there is a w et retu rn passing un­ d er the floor, this should be discon­ nected, for it w ill not em pty through the boiler drain-cock. E m pty o r take aw ay any bottles containing liquids th at m ight freeze. C lear out all food and garbage. R oll up your rugs w ith plenty of m oth crystals and m oth balls inside, and w rap tightly in heavy paper. Cover the furniture, and put m oth crystals and balls on the seats of upholstered chairs and sofas. Blan­ kets and woolen clothing should be put in tight chests, preferably lined w ith sheet m etal, w ith plenty of m oth crystals and balls. A pound or two of the crystals and balls scat­ tered in each room on furniture and on the floor will discourage m ice, chipm unks and other sm all anim als. Cover the top of the chim ney w ith a box, securely fastened on, to keep o u t birds and sm all anim als, and for protection against m oisture. Shutters should be tightly closed an d fastened, and windows w ithout shutters should be boarded up. - B e sure th at all fires a re out, not even a spark rem aining. . It would seem hardly necessary to say th a t no pets should be left behind. ; D on't'forget to lock all out­ side doors. Notify the m ilkm an, icem an, new spaper delivery service, and local police. Slate M antel Facing. Q uestion: I have three slabs of one-inch polished slate, set in as a m antel facing. Insofar a s I am able to determ ine, these slabs a re not keyed into the m asonry, and I don’t see how the sm ooth surface offers any bond for the m ortar. The prob­ lem , therefore, is to avoid disaster w ith the first fire. I propose to drill through the slate and secure the slabs a t top and bottom w ith an­ chors and screw s. If I use a car­ borundum drill or burr, should the drilling be w et or dry? A nsw er: I would not deface the slate by having screw heads showing on the surface. It is probable that the m echanic who set the slate in place has erected the facing accord­ ing to the usual practice. The slate slabs a re usually m ade up w ith dow els em bedded in the back. W hen the slate is set in place, the dowels a re anchored into the m asonry of th e fireplace, and the slabs are ce­ m ented in place. D rilling should be w et. Leaking W indows. Q uestion: M y house is bride, not y e t a y e ar old. W indows a re steel casem ents, w ith cast cem ent sills. W ater leaks around windows so bad­ ly th a t plaster is discolored. How c a n this be prevented? Steel win­ dow s a re rusting. A nsw er: Leakage is m ost prob­ ably through the joint betw een the casem ent fram e and the brickw ork, and can be prevented w ith caulking com pound, forced in w ith a caulk­ ing gun. Should the joint be cov­ ere d w ith a wood m oulding, w hich is likely, this should be taken off to expose the joint, and to perm it the com pound to be forced in. On re­ turning the. m oulding to position, it should be on a bed of caulking com ­ pound, for final assurance th at the joint is tight. K inds of Wood. Q uestion: W here can I get infor­ m ation on the different kinds of wood used in a hom e workshop? A nsw er: Y ou can g et booklets from the N ational L um ber M anufac­ tu re rs association, W ashington, D. C. T here is a chapter on this sub­ je c t in the book “H om e C raftsm an­ ship” by Em anuele Stieri. The m akers of tools for hom e w orkshops issue booklets th a t include this sub­ ject, w hich can be h ad from tool dealers o r direct. R usty Iren L antern. Q uestion: I have an old-fashioned iron lantern, which has been w ired for electricity, to hang outside m y porch. It h as becom e very rusty. . P lease tell m e w hat is the correct treatm en t to rem ove the ru st and w eatherproof the lantern? A nsw er: C lean off the ru st by rubbing w ith kerosene and steel wool. W ipe clean w ith benzine, be­ ing very careful of fire. Then finish w ith tw o coats of flat black paint. (Do the benzineing on a cloudy d ay outdoors.) HouseholdNeujs TH E ANSW ER TO A HOSTESS’ PR A Y ER . (See R ecipes Below) TAKE A P E E K AT YODR PASTRY M any a cook who shines brightly a t cake-baking sadly adm its th at she doesn’t have the knack of m ak­ ing flaky, m elt-in- the-m outh pastry. She feels th at it is som ething she can’t help, like the color of her eyes or h er hair. B ut a careful look at h er pie crust through a m agnifying glass or m i­ croscope often gives a clue a s to w hat is the m atter. Flaky p astry is m ade up of m any, m any thin layers of dough separat­ ed by long, thin a ir pockets or spaces form ed w hen the layers of fa t and flour a re separated by steam dur­ ing the baking. P a rt of this flakiness depends upon th e m anner in w hich the fat is cut into the flour and p a rt upon the handling of the dough. If a p a rt of the fa t is rubbed in w ith the fingers o r a pastry blender, until ft is in very sm all particles and is evenly distributed throughout all of the flour; and if the rem ainder of th e fa t is cut in so th at it is in fairly large pieces about the size of navy beans or peas, then the cru st has an excellent chance' of be­ ing both tender and flaky. The large pifeces of fa t sep arate the flour into layers, while the sm all particles tend to m ake 'th e dough m ore, tender. If all the fa t is distributed in sm all particles the cru st is apt to be “ crum bly" ra th e r than flaky. To this fa t and flour m ixture is added the w ater, a procedure which is best accom plished w ith a fork. The dough is w orked lightly to­ gether into a ball so that it can be rolled out. O verhandling at this point foreshadow s a tough crust, yet the dough m ust be kneaded enough so th a t it w ill stick together and form a sm ooth sheet under the roll­ ing pin. A slightly richer form ula— a proportion of % cup of fa t to I cup of flour instead of the usual 14 cup of flour to I cup of fat, m akes it possible to handle the pastry dough m ore w ithout toughening it appre­ ciably.

An editorial in the C anadian M edi­ cal A ssociation Journal states that “ there is no need to extol the value of the X -ray in the physical ex­ am ination of the lungs.

W hen there is a tired feeling, loss of w eight, persistent cough w ith or w ithout an afternoon rise in tem pera­ ture, it would be good sense to stop taking cough m edicines and tonics and ask your physician about the X -ray exam ination of the chest.

U E T U S T E L L Y O U M O R E A B O U T I T ^ J l i d d e n CH APTER XIX—Continned. W hen Al had left for his post, the C aptain ceased to fight us and took cnarge. Once in, he w as gam e. H e spent the next fifteen m inutes set­ ting the stage, m entally M d physi­ cally, for Lyon’s entrance. The door­ bell’s shrill cut him off m idw ay in his final instructions. W e heard Annie com e down the hall. Shannon sa t behind.the desk. A llegra looked out a t the sunlight th a t crept up the a rea’s w all and locked h e r hands tight in her lap to check th eir trem bling. Cochrane stared a t nothing w ith a half sm ile and lighted a cigarette: “ P lease,” said M iss A gatha and he started and offered h e r one. She lighted it steadily as Lyon F erriter entered. • H e checked him self ju st over (he threshold as though our plan w ere an invisible w all and I felt th a t his lank body grew tense. In the win­ try light, his face looked p aler and thinner but it w as as controlled as his voice. , “ I’m sorry to break in on a—con­ ference, but the hallm an said you w ished to see m e, M iss P aget.” H is eyes questioned each of us. H e m ust have read danger in our si­ lence for he looked a t m e la st and longest. M iss A gatha said, quite tran ­ quilly: “ Two calls in a day m ay be an im position, M r. F erriter, but w hen I heard you w ere here, I thought it best th a t you com e in.” “A pleasure,” he said, w ith a lit­ tle bow, but now be w atched Shan­ non. " I w as ju st getting som e things m y sister needs.” The silence stretched each second. Shannon asked: “A nd your sister, M r. F erriter. H ow -is she?” “HI,” Io rOn replied. "Q uite ill." Again, the pause w as hard to bear. Shannon cleared his throat. ‘Mt. F errite r, I’ve found out who killed your visitor.” Lyon m ight have been bronze. A t last, he said: “ In th e first place I’m not aw are th a t he w as m y visitor. In the sec­ ond place, if this is to be a police questioning, I m ust ask perm ission to call m y law yer." “ Sure,” Shannon said and shoved the desk phone tow ard him . "T ell him to m eet u s a t th e B abylon and th a t I’m on m y w ay up to a rre st lone F errite r.” T hat nam e caught Lyon half-w ay across the-floor and stopped him . H e stared a t Siannonl glanced a t m e and then sm iled. “lone?” h e asked lightly. “A rrest h er?’? “ A rrest her,” Shannon repeated. 'F or m urder. T m sorry to break it to you so sharply, M r. F erriter—” H e m ade no further m ovem ent to­ w ard the telephone, b u t stood, look­ ing h ard a t the policem an. “ W hat ro t!” The C aptain pushed back his chair. “N o,” he said. "Shall w e go on up?” ‘Surely,” Lyon began and then his bluff broke. “ You m ustn’t. She’s ill, I tell you. Y ou can’t possibly think she had anything—” The pain in his voice rang true. Shannon cut him off. “ I better give you the usual w arn­ ing about w hatever you say being used against -you. I ’m not sure w hether you’re accessory o r not.” H e paused. I w as w atching Ly­ ra ’s hands. They hung a t his sides, rigidly still. Shannon w ent on and adm ired the confidence in his voice. ‘She knifed this guy—for reasons o f h e r own. Then she cam e o ut into th e h all yonder and hollered.” ‘I see;” said Lyon. “ A nd sw al­ low ed the knife.” ’Listen,” Shannon answ ered, “ if I w asn’t so certain I’d not be tellin g you. The next night after the m ur­ der, this M allory here bum ped into her in th e basem ent hallw ay. In the d ark.” Lyon’s eyes touched m ine for a split second. T hen they returned to Shannon. I saw his hands clench and instantly hang lax again. H is voice w as am used. 'I see. H e recognized h e r in the d a rk ." Shannon shook his head, im ­ m une to irony. “ No. H e knew it w as a w om an, that’s all. B ut a ta x id riv e rs a w h e r com e out of the basem ent. S ie got into his cab. H ere’s his affidavit. C are to read it?” H e offered the p ap er C ochrane had set down a t h is dictation. X yon half reached for it, drew back and shook his head. ‘T m not interested,” he said care­ fully. “ It’s a m istake. M y sister w as a t th e B abylon all th a t eve­ ning.” “I don’t know now,” Shannon w ent on, w ith narrow ed eyes, “ w hether' you really think so o r not. F e rri­ te r, she w asn’t. She. called a t M r. M allory’s boarding house. M rs. Shaw , th e landlady, identifies her, too. R ight after th a t struggle in the basem ent, she w ent to see him .” “ A ll of w hich,” Lyon began and coughed. I jerked. F o r an instant, I thought I heard in his voice a trace of th a t foreign speech th at had com e to m e tw ice before. It w as not there w hen he resum ed. “ You overlook th e fact th a t m y sister has been cleared.- One of the h allboys saw h er com e in ju st be­ fore—” . “H e’s dow nstairs now,” Shannon said, “ and he’s confessed. H e never saw h er at all. H e said he did it Because he didn’t w ant to g et a lady into trouble. Y our sister, lone, killed th at m an, w hether it’s news to you o r n o t She then dropped th e knife down the elevator shaft and scream ed. Shall w e get on up­ tow n?” This tim e he rose, but Lyon did not stir, and I saw the gloss of sw eat on his leathery face. “ I see,” he said w ith an ugly laugh. "A sort of social third de­ gree, eh? B y all m eans, C aptain. L et’s go uptown. I’d like to hear you tell th at story in court.” Shannon’s voice w as m ore silky than I had thought it could be. “Now, M r. F erriter,” it purred, “ I haven’t been asking you. I ’ve been telling you." M iss A gatha spoke,.so quietly that I w ondered w hether Lyon felt the edge of h e r w ords. “ I asked C aptain Shannon to teU you w hat he knows, M r. F e rrite r. You w ere so considerate this m orn­ ing th a t I believed-you would rath er be prepared, before—the a rre st.” “ T here w ill be,” he replied w ith a n ugly defiance, “no arrest. No mNo. H e knew it was a . woman, that’s all.” doubt lone, if it w ere she, could ex­ plain h er presence in the base­ m ent.” “ She won’t need to,” Shannon said quietly, “ because it h as been proved. She w ent dow n th ere to get the knife th a t killed your visitor.” "W hose nam e,” C bchrane said dream ily, “ w as — ju st possibly — H orstm an, eh?” Lyon could control his sp are ex­ terior. H e could not m anage his h eart. Color cam e into his face. “ You see,” Shannon pressed on. "Tone F e rrite r dropped som ething in the basem ent th a t night.” H e lifted the handkerchief from th e knife upon the desk. The dis­ tan t sound of traffic cam e into the still room . Lyon did not m ove, but ebbing color left Iiis face a greenish gray. Shannon said: “H er fingerprints a re on the handle. T here’s blood on the blade,” and after another long m om ent in which Lyon never stirred, added: “ We’ve got h er, F errite r. She killed him . As for h er alibi—" H e picked up the telephone and •aid : “Hoyt? Come up here.” Down in the M orello, I heard the •h aft door clang. The m oan of the elevator blew through the room like rising wind. Lyon said thickly: "lo n e had nothing to do w ith it." H e paused and then added: “ I killed him ” T he th rill it Should have brought w as oddly m issing. I looked a t Lyon w ith vague disappointm ent. It should have been m ore dram atic th an th at. M iss A gatha said: ‘This, is, of course, a ra th e r be­ lated but chivalrous attem p t to save your sister . . . " The doorbell rang. Sbannon called to A nnie: “ Tell him ' to w ait." Lyon said to the old lady a s though there had been no interruption: “ She is not m y sister. Sieism y daughter.” T v e w ondered,” said IAiss Aga­ tha a t last, breaking the silence. The m an w ent on and as em otion relaxed his pose, the g uttural tone I had heard first over the telephone grew beneath his accustom ed speech and a t last dom inated it. “ This is m y confession.' You can w rite it down, C aptain. The m an th a t I killed had done m y daughter m uch w rong. I thought him dead.” H e paused. C otA rane asked: “In a-blizzard, in A laska?” T hat blind shot got Lyon, knock­ ing his reserve aw ay, breaking, for a n instant, his self-control. H e gaped a t his m ild questioner and struggled for speech. J e rry drove his attack hom e, still gently: “W ith a bullet through his chest?” “ A re you the devil?” Lyon blurted and the thick sound of his tortured voice seem ed to shock him . He caught hold of him self, turned from C ochrane and said to Shannon, in hit old easy m anner: 14IJo you m ind very m uch if we 4on’t go into that? I’d like to keep m y daughter out of tro u b le ^ T hat is the purpose of m y confession. She m arried m y cousin, and hers, Lyon F errite r, and w ent to A laska.” “Lyon—” Shannon repeated, and gaped. The lean m an frowned. “ If you please,” he objected and w ent on. “She m arried Lyon F e rri­ te r. H e had been m y p artn er in vaudeville. We a re B ohem ians by birth. I thought she, would be hap­ py. She w as not. F e rrite r abused her. I followed them te Alaska. AU th at she had w ritten m e w as tru e and m ore. H e w as m aking her pose as his sister, w ith all th at im ­ plied. F e rrite r had got hold of the story of a lost gold strike, farth er in. H e and she and I w ent prospect­ ing' for it. W e found it—and lost F e rrite r.” I ’.thought of-the. bullet scars on the dead m an and held m y peace. T he slayer of Lyon F e rrite r w ent on: “I ,had gone there to take his wife, m y 'daughter, aw ay. H e w ore a beard and I grew one, th a t w inter, after his death. We looked alike clean-shaven, and m ore so, bearded. We cam e, back to the states—Lyon F e rrite r and sister. “ M y brother, a student but a w eakling, had changed his nam e during Uie w ar. H e w as no longer E m il H orstm an, but E v erett F e rri­ te r. Now, I w as no longer A ndreas H orstm an but Lyon. I had enough for com fort. W e w ere happy. I be­ lieved m y daughter would m ake a good m arriag e w hen your nephew cam e of age." H e bowed precisely tow ard M iss A gatha a s though h e h ad com pli­ m ented her, and pursued: “L ast M onday, m y cousin, w hom I thought dead, hailed m e on the street. H e had m y a rm before I saw him . T here w as nothing else to do. I brought him .0 m y flat. T here w as noi one iii the hall and w e w alked upstairs. W e talked a long w hile.” H e paused and seem ed to look back w ith critical eyes upon that; interview . Shannon bent over his w riting. I saw the quick rise and fall of A llegra’s b reath and the haw k look on h e r a u n fs face. “ Lyon w as greedy,” A ndreas H orstm an said a t last. " I offered him all the m oney. H e w anted it— and lone. She w as still his wife. I ordered him out a t last. H e re ­ fused to go. T hen I lost m y tem per. I called the police and he drew h is knife and' again I killed h im .' This tim e, perm anently I think.” - H is face m oved w ith a ghost of his w him sical sm ile. H e shrugged and said: “ The re st you have found out— how I hid the knife in the basem ent and how lone found h e r husband; how she w ent back to the cellar, to save h er father—and got the knife only to drop it w hen M r. M allory cam e upon h e r; how she lost her head and w ent to his room ; how E v erett and I both bungled our last effort to find it and E v erett killed him self because he feared death too m uch to live longer. O utside of try ­ ing to help the fath er she loves, m y daughter h ad nothing to do w ith this—I tell you, n o t-a thing.” Shannon started to speak but C ochrane’s query forestalled him . “All right,” he crooned, “you killed him . How did you get out after­ w ard?” F o r an instant, Lyon did not seem to understand. T hen an odd expression crossed his face. “ Oh ho,” he exclaim ed softly. “Som ething is still a m ystery, eh? Y ou know so m uch, I thought you had read it all. I t w as sim ple. L et m e show you." H e took a step backw ard and glanced about the room . “ Suppose th e' divan behind' which Lyon’s body lay w as there.” O ur eyes followed th e pointing fin­ ger. “ The door,” said H orstm an, turn­ ing tow ard it w ith a sm ile, “ would then be here.” - H e leaped. I t slam m ed behind him . Like its echo, w e h eard the front door d o se. I w as quick b u t Shannon w as quicker. H e w as a t m y elbow a s I pulled the w orkroom portal open. H e w as. p ast m e and through the hall door before I reached it. “ W here?” he w as barking a t H oyt, who stood in the open door­ w ay of the w aiting car. E ddie gab­ bled. “ D ow nstairs.. On foot. H e fell, I think. Shook the hull elevator. He—” ' “ A ll” Shannon ro ared down the shaft. “H ere,” his aid replied from be­ low. “ Stop him ,” shouted the C aptain and plunged dow n the stairs. I jum ped for the car. “ B asem ent," I m uttered to E d­ die, w ho jerked' his lever. I w as thinking too hard , to h e ar his ques> tions. The lm ife had been hidden in the basem ent.

As w e slid p a st its closed door, I could h e ar him yapping like a thw arted terrier. “H e cam e down. A nd I followed him . If you’ve let him get by, I ’ll—" I heard, once again? the voice— the re a l voice—of him w e had know n as Lyon F e rrite r. It filled the shaft w ith a fearful sound, sud­ denly ended.

Lesson for March 2 Lesson subjects and -Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission, TH E AUTHORITY O F CHRIST LESSON TEXT—Luke 19:41—20:«. COUJEN TEXT—And Wbr call ye me. Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?—Luke 6:46. "B y w hat authority doest thou these things?” The question of the scribes w as a proper one, even though their sp irit and purpose in asking it m ay have been w rong. Any m an who claim s to have authority over others should expect to be asked th at question and be prepared to give an honest answ er. I. AnUiority R ejected (w . 41-44). On the previous day our L ord had m ade H is kingly trium phant entry into the city and m any had ac­ claim ed H im (see w . 37-40); b u t the city a s a whole—and especially its leaders, both religious and govern- m e n ta l-h a d rejected H im . As H e cam e tow ard the city the. next day and it spread out before H im in beautiful panoram a, H is ten­ d e r h eart w as broken and H e w ept. H is te a rs w ere not for H im self, b u t for the people who h ad rejected H im . W e a re told th a t the w ord used “fo r w eeping here does not m ean m erely . . te a rs” but “ rath ­ e r the heaving' of the bosom , and the Sob and cry of a soul in agony” (M organ). T hat is how. H e feels about you w ho reject H is authority today, for the city of Jeru salem represented the attitude of all unbelieving hum anity. H e loves you, sinner, and w eeps over your rejection of H im ; but ju st a s H e ultim ately h ad to reject the city because it rejected H im , H e will have to condem n you in your sin if you continue to reject H im . W hy do it?n. A uthority A sserted (w . 45,46). T he a ct o f Jesu s in cleansing the tem ple w as very bold, for H e held no position in the tem ple and H e had no police pow ers. Only a m an w ith a disordered im ind o r in a frenzy of anger would assum e such authority if it did not belong to him . T his m eans th a t Jesu s acting a s H e did here, quietly, deliberately, and in­ telligently, . was. declaring by H is deed th a t th e one w hose authority is above and back of all h um an author­ ity had com e to cleanse H is F ath er’s house. I t is a striking scene. L et us see in it all the gracious m ajesty, pow­ e r and authority of the Son of God, our Saviour and Lord.In. Anthiority A ccepted (w . 47, 48); T he people “ w ere very attentive,” or m ore effectively, as in th e R e­ vised V ersion, they “ all hung upon him .” H ow rem arkable it is th at “ the com m on people h eard him gladly” (M ark 12:37), w hile the learned leaders, both in religious and political circles, hated and re­ jected H im . T hat situation has continued throughout the centuries. L et us not be disturbed o r confused by the fact th a t so m any “leading” m en and w om en (thank God, not all of them , by any m eans)' reject or question th e claim s of C hrist. It is the very thing w e ought to expect. Young people, be not a t all dis­ turbed by th a t supposedly conclu­ sive statem ent, “scholarship is agreed,” for usually it proves to he w rong. Don’t be surprised if som e leading novelist, or tycoon of the business w orld, is not a follow er of C hrist. Mieet Jesu s yourself and you w ill learn to love H im and w ant to serve H im . G et' th e balanced judgm ent of “the com m on people” w ho have really m et the Lord, and you w ill find the rig h t w ay—God’s w ay. IV . A uthority D efended (20:1-8). H um anly speaking, the p riests a n d . scribes w ere rig h t w hen they c h a t lenged C hrist. H e had no official position w hich justified H is acts and H is w ords. B ut note carefully th a t the very fact th a t H e, in retu rn for th eir “ Tell us,” replied, “ TeU m e,” indicates th a t the hum an-authority w hich had a right to challenge oth­ e r hum an authority had now m e t the O ne who is “the head of all principality and pow er.” H e h ad a suprem e rig h t to say, “B efore I an­ sw er you, tell m e.” W e a re a p t to reg ard the answ er of Jesus to th eir question as a skill­ ful evasion of a difficult situation, but it w as fa r m ore than that. If they had replied honestly to H is question regarding John, and ad­ m itted th a t H is authority w as from heaven, Jesu s would probably have said, “ Then w hat did he say of m e?” H e would have rem inded them of the statem ent of John th a t he w as not w orthy to loose fhe la tch et,o f H is . shoes. o t -his-prophecy of the jiidgm K it to com e, of the baptism of fire (see L uke 3:16-17), of th e d a y . wifen John called H im “ the L am b of God, w hich taketh aw ay the sin of the w orld” (John 1:29). H ere w as proof concerning H is au­ thority, but they did not d are to ask for it because they did not w ant it. You too, read er, if you have ques­ tions regarding the claim of C hrist to authority over your life m ay have a .satisfying answ er, blit only if you honestly w ant it and w ill receive it w ith open m ind and heart.
