THE WEDDING breakfast, -'ham

"You know, you naughty children,"
•he wakened enough to hear Mrs
Jobnston-Heriges saying, across the
Venetian lace tablecloth, "the least
you can do is to secure to your gen
erous Aunt Minnie bet share of the
Church estate. l understand you
larger to buy her half tn her name."
"Aunt Minnie did it willingly an-3 I
without ary strings on it," said Met
coldly.
"That estate, when it is drained, Is
to be given over to the use of the
penniless,” Addison explained. "It •
was very fine of Miss .Minnie.”
TThat." said Mrs. Johnston
Hedges even more coldly, "is just
what you. Bet. have made the aunt
who has supported vmr ail your
life.”
“Oh. Florrie. Bessie.” hurried
Aunt Minnie, lifting two little flash

call me things like that l—l just

fond of them. . . 1m sure they'll 1

of paper anywhere, Mrs. Johnston-
Hedges?”
She had. Orion liad been through |
law school for the benefit of his
estates. They drew up the assign- !
ment and had It typed by Mrs.
Johnston-Hedges' secretary before ■,

The last thing they saw was Mrs.
Johnston-Hedges showing Addison on
a piece of paper what was the im
portant thing to cio first. Leila didn’t
catch what it was, hut Addison
termed to think it was a wonderful
idea. •*'
'AN ill I? said Lena fervently. “In
a straight line without ever return

“Oh. well—better drop in at your

Good girl, Leila. More like yourself.
Been sort of low in your mind late

ways l;ked you for was the pep and
comeback. Too much talk here
about this and that. Mother's right
mindedness is oil right, but hang it
all. we're young and alive; got. to
think about ourselves.”
“And how!" said Leila. “My first
thought is that I don’t want to play
golf one bit. I walk enough, and I'm
dead today anyway. , Call up the
stabic-, and let’s tide.”
Me laughed admiringly.
A fact dawned on Leila. You could
do what Orton told you; or you could
make him—to a certain point—do
That you told him. If the latter ar
rangement was carrier! out life might
not he so bad.
“Ride it is." said he grinning.
“Better hire me a horse." she said
—she, who till now had airway’s hated
taking things. "What’s a ran* for
if he can’t do things for you?”,
Orton howled tyth glee ‘ ■
"Humor! Thafs what I like about

MOVEMENT TO AID
FARMERS PLANNED
Daily I)l*patch Bnream,
In tin* Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Jan. 31.—A new war will
begin here tonight—a war against
erosion which now costs North Caro
lina farmers millions of dollars a year
and a war for utilization of the now
worthless pine crop.
More than 175 farmers, bankers,
publishers and busines leaders "will
meet here at a banquet under tbo
joint auspices of the agricultural
committee of the North Carolina
Bankers Association and the Agricul
tural Research Bureau of the Bar
rett Company and will hear addresses
by two men —one of whom will warn
against the dangers of erosion, the
other will probably tell how farmers
can convert their worthless pine slash
into gold.
Dr. James Stall jugs, regional direc
tor of the Soil Erosion Service of the
Department of Interior, will tell how
many millions of dollars Tar Heel far
mers lose each year through erosion
and will prescribe a remedy for the
loss. Dr. Charles H. Herty, former
University of North Carolina profes
sor and eminent scientist who has
recently been experimenting with the
manufacture of newsprint from South
ern pine, probably will tell of his
work and predict a gigantic new in
dustry for the South, which would
take into its scope not only indust
rialists, but farmers. For, if Dr.
Herty’s plan is developed, farmers will
be able to sell their slash pine for
far better prices than ever before, and
the lowly pinew ill be classified as
one of the State’s major erops.
Dr. Herty will speak from Atlanta
on a “Vital Message to the South.’'

Raleigh, Jan. 31. —The appropria
tions committees are not expected to
recommend any appropriations for
j permanent improvements; that is for
any new buildings -or equipment for
; any of the State institutions. But it
• has been impressed with the need for
more facilities in the various State
hospitals for the insane and is evi
dently interested in some method by
which the criminal insane may be
transferred back to the prison div
ision of the State Highway and Pub
lic Works Commission. For if this
1 should be done, it is agreed that suf
ficient space would at once be made
available in the State hospitals in Ra
leigh and Goldsboro to relieve the
present congestion.
When questioned by Senator Lee L.
Gravely, chairman of the Senate Ap
propriations Committee. Dr .J. W.
Ashby, superintendent of the Raleigh
hospital, said that if the criminal in
' sane should be transferred to the pri
| son department that the hospital
would then not need a new building
for inebriates, as has been requested,
since it could then use the building
now housing the criminal insane for
ihe inebriates. There are now 133
f criminal insane being kept in this
building. It would provide enough
1 space for all the inebriates and the
same time afford room for from 50
to 75 other patients.. Dr. Ashby ag
reed, and virtually relieve all of the
present congestion in the hospital,
i If the Negro criminal insane could
also be removed from the Goldsboro
j hospital for the Negro insane, the ad
ditional room there would amply take
care of its needs, it is believed,
i As a result, it.i s expected that the
! appropriations committees, or some of
! the members of these committees,
; will prepare a bill to again require
the. erinrinal insane to be held under
the jurisdiction of the prison division,
either in the Central Prison here, or
in a special camp to be set. up for
that purpose. It is maintained that
such; a. movew ill relieve present ion
gested conditions in the State hos
pitals without increasing the cost to
the State.

HISTORY UP TO DATE
| Jan. 31. 1608—Captain John Smith
returned from captivity among the
Amerindians, during which time his
life was saved by the beauteous bru
nette daughter of Fowhatan—accord
ing to his story.
There is no basis for believing the
celebrated rescue of Smith by Poca
j hontas ever happened!
Smith made no allusion to the res
; cue until Pocahontas’ arrival in Eng
land as wife of John Rolfe. Then he
j wrote an account of H in a letter to
j Queen Anne.
Smith was the Joan Lowell-Richard
i Halliburton of his day, rushing into
i print, with highly eulogistic accounts
of his adventures, and we know little
! about him except what he tells us in i
i these incredible hooks.
Some of his self-reported advent
lures:
He lived as a hermit in a dense
! forest, where he read Marcus Aurelius
and Machiavelli.
He became a second Robin Hood.
He became a second Don Quixote,
traveling the highways with a servant,
in knightly fashion, tilting his lance
at whatever came liis Way. (All this
before he was 20 years old).
He went to Holland and fell in with
thieves, and wandered through
France. At Marseilles he sailed for
Italy. A great tempest arose, and as
he was the only Protestant aboard,
the disturbance was laid to him and
he was cast overboard like Jonah.
He was rescued by pirates and he- j
came one of them.
Next he traveled through Italy and j
Austria, and joined the Austrian army j
to fight the Turkks. His bravery j
was so great, he tells us, that he was
made a captain. He devised a. tele
graphic system of communication and
invented a chemical bomb. However,
he couldn’t win the war single-hand
edly, and he was captured and made
a Turkish slave.
Os course, he killed his master and j
escaped to Russia. (Catherine IT j
hadn’t been born yet. so he wasn’t one j
of her lovers).
All this Smith packs into seven !
years of his life.
Jan. 31, 1797 —Franz Peter Schubert ;

come one of the world’s greatest com
posers .
He wrote his* first symphony when j
