TODAY'S Y ESTER-DAYS
April 27. 1667—John Milton sold the
copyright ol Paradise Lost to a Lon
don publisher for the equivalent of
$25 down, and $25 on the publication
of each of the first three editions.
The classic was destined to have
thousands of editions in scores, of
languages. All Milton ever received
from It was SSO.
April 27, 1778—British Isles were
invaded by foreign forces the last time
by Americans! Capt. John Paul Jones
commanding the frigate Banger, the
first to fly the Stars and Stripes, land
ed a force at Wihitehaven, on the bor
ders of the Irish Sea. held the town
for a while, spiked 38 cannon, and
threw a scare into the whole country
side.
One hundred and thirty-six years
later their ships and airships bomb
arded English cities, but Germans
were never able to land forces.
April 27, 1805 —•The American flag
floated over conquered territory In the
Old World for the first time. Lieut.
P. N. OTBannon, U. S. Marines, rais
ed the Stars and Stripes over the
Tripolitan fortress at Derne, on the
northcoast of Africa. The Marines
were part of a force sent to stop the
from American vessels in the Medi
terranean. In doing so. they also stop-
Barbary States from exacting tribute
ped depredations inflicted on vessels
of other vessels. Pope Pius VII. whose
Papal States had been among the suf
ferers. declared the Americans had
done more for Christendom against
the pirates than all the powers of
Europe united.
April 27, 1822 —-Hiram Ulysses Grant
was born at Point Pleasant. Ohio, de
stined to raise from bankrupt farm
ers to commanding general of the U.
S. Army and to the Presidency with
in eight years!
You’re wrong' if you believe that
Grant was a heavy toper who was
i oaring drunk before the battle of
Vicksburg. The story was slanderous
ly spread by two envious generals,
one of them a fanatical dry and the
other a fanatical abolitionist.
YOU’RE WRONG IF YOU
BELIEVE
That celery and fish have special
value as “brain foods.’’
There is no foundation for this po
pular superstition.
That the “pony express” was of
vast importance in th winning of the
west.
It was virtually of no importance.
It was in operation less than two years
the public patronizd it lightly; the
operators went into bankruptcy.
That there is more copper in a
penny than there is in a nickel.
The 5c piece is 75 per cent copper.
Write a wrong: address Clark Kin
i.aird, care this newspaper.
That fish and ice cream cannot be
eaten at the same time without gas

It’s just superstition. If you should

combination, don’t blame it on the
combination.
THE WORLD WAR 20 YEARS
AGO TODAY
April 27 1915—The most important
■'Vi* 'lf-\ ‘.lopr>! (?*■;t '■? this date did net
become known until long afterward.
An agreement was signed in London
■ between Britain. France, Russia and
Italy whereby Italy agreed to deliver
her support to the Allies, C. O. D.
IHe compensation was fived in ad
vance; the whole of the Trentino and.
South Tyrol. Trieste. Dalmatia, Rhodes
and various other islands; a zone of
influence in southern Asia Minor; new
colonies in Africa; a say-so about all
Albanian affairs .and sundry other
items.
Italy stipulated that the pact should
be kept secret from the other Entente
allies, particularly Servla, as well as
the rest of the world. (It did not be
come known until the Russian Bolshe
vik! published Russian state papers
In 1917).
Italy had been bartering about her
affections with both sides for months.
The Allies were the highest bidders,
and the current news from the west
ern and eastern fronts was none too
favorable to the German cause. So
Italy case its lot with the Allies.
Its actual entry into the conflict
was to follow the Pact of London by
several weeks, however, because of
the time needed to rouse the rank and
file of the population and make entry
into the war seem necessary.
April 28, 1915—The United States ap
pealed to Turkey for relief of Armen
ian citizens.
The most savage warfare conducted
against a race in modern times was
being carried on by the Turks to ex
terminate the Armenian population of
Asia Minor It had begun soon after

the uotbreak of the war with reports
of Armenian plots in support of the
Allied Powers; and had been fanned,
of course, by the hatred of fanatical
Moslems for the. Armenian Christians.
Even the crisis facing ’Turkey at
the Dardanelles did . liot take much
needed forces from the work of but
chering the Armenians, From first
to last the massacres were organized
and carried out systematically. The
people were shot down in masses,
drowned in the Black Sea and in riv
ers; burned in buildings—murdered by
whatever processes were most • con
venient. Girls were placed in Turkish
harems, sold like slaves.
The American protest naturally
came to naught.

from the colonies to Venezuela, known
as the Cartagena Expedition, North
Carolina sending 400 men. This war
of England against Spain was an ef

American ports to British shipping.
Practically the entire coasts south
of Georgia on the Atlantic and Cali

Banker Urges Lower Tariffs
and Government Debt
Adjustments
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer
New York, April 2f, —Some inipor.
tant things are being said in speeches
arid in print that do not get to the
public.
We shallLtry to relay a few.
One of the most important state
ments was made by Benjamin M.
Anderson, Jr., economist of the Chase
National bank. New York. His state
ment is important because its repre
sents the largest accumulation of
cash in one institution in America.
He stresses as necessary for na
tional recovery such measures as cur
rency stabilization, lowering of tariffs
elimination of other trade restrictions
adjustment of government debts (pro-*
bably the taking up of all short-term
government paper in a long-term re
funding program).
Said Mr. Anderson:
“If goods can move across inter
national borders with reasonable free
dom, then the pressure on gold stocks
of debtor countries is enormously
lightened, and the gold supply of the
entire world becomes much more ade
quate.
“Tariff reductions, particularly oy
the great creditor countries, would,
in effect t greatly increase the gold
stocks of the world and would great,
ly facilitate currency stabilization.”
ANTIQUATED LAWS
We wrote the other day of the un
soundness of our criminal laws.
They not only are unsound, but an
tiquated and bahbarous, says Dr. Wil
liam Alanson White. Superintendent
of St. Elizabeth’s hospital, Washing
ton.-' ‘
Says Dr. White: "Psychiatry has
branched out in the field of crimi
nology where it is struggling with
the problem of so-called crime. Here
it ipeets with antiquated, outworn,
archaic ways of thinking that have
been crystalized in the statutory law
and retain personal expression thro
ugh the personalities of the lawyers
who have been educated in the tra
ditional legal methodology.
“In trials there! s often the hypo
thetical question. It asks something
about an iridividual who does not ex
ist, never has existed and from the
constitution of such questions, never
could exist.
“The trial that takes place in our
courts is not the trial of a man but
the trial of a ghost that slatks across
the stage in this dramatic procedure
and that probably would be least re
cognized by the sol-called criminal
himself,, while behind such indefinable
terms as ‘responsibility’ there hides>
the same old motive of vengeance.”
DEATH FOR PACIFISTS
Germany now decrees the death
penalty for pacifists.
In every major country in the
world —including the United States—
pacifists now may be imprisoned, for
longer terms than common criminals.
Thus have we traveled since the
days of the Prince of Peace.

wlth caffeine one day and with sugaf
of milk the next.
Speed, Accuracy Described
The result showed that with aver
age doses of caffeine (% grains)
there was undoubted increase In
speOd and accuracy of movement and
efficiency of work, beginning in about
one hour and lasting four hours.
The action on muscle is particu
larly noticeable. The strength and
irritability of the muscle is increased
and fitigability is reduced. Muscu
lar movements are far more accurate
under caffeine.
Naturally, therefore, tea and corftS
habits are common among brain
workers, and those Svho must hs
awake and alert at nlgnt.
The afternoon cup o* tea is a trua
fatigue preventer.
The stimulation of tea and codes,
if carried to excess, is certainly of
the sort which draws on Nature’s re
serves, however, and I echo the words
°f ■ famous physician who writes, "I
should tike to say to every student
tnat if he gets into a state tn which
night after night he cannot work
without coffee, he is drawing on his
reserves, so that when he needs to
make a spurt, he will be unable to
dt> so.”
Tea Is a valuable domestic drug
for other things. On account of IIP
content of tannic acid rt is valuable
in, the treatment of burns, and tea
leaves are, therefore, valuable as e
part of the domestic medicine chest.

OLD TAX PROBLEM
UP BEFORE SENATE
»
Large Discounts Offered
Counties To Settle On
Old Property Levy
Dully Uiuimtch Dureua,
In the Sir Walter Hotel,
Raleigh. April 29. —Pursuing its
course of thel ast month, the Senate
failed again to agree on a question
of revenue for the next biennium
when it. deferred until today action
on. the bill by Senator Newman, fin
ance chairmn, of New Hnover, to ex
tend to counties a discount of ten per
cent in order to induce them to pay
into the State cfofer about $500,000
due from uncollected taxes under the
now-abolished 15-cent ad valorem
levy for the support of schools.
The bill would offer a discount of
two per cent to cover overcharges and
errors, three per cent for collection
charges, and additional discounts tor
prompt settlments. The additional dis
counts would be allowed on the fol
lowing basis: five per cent if paid be
fore next November 1. two per cent
if paid before December 1, and one
per cent if paid before January 1.
Practically every county in the state
owes the State uncollected taxes un
der the 15 cent levy on the SIOO as.
sessed property valuation. The tax is
no longer levied, having been replaced
with the retail sales tax.
The measure was offered by Senator
Newman in an effort to get the coun
ties to pay'up. Senator Newman has
already included in his revenue bill
estimated collections under this item.
When the .bill appeared on the cal
endar for action, Senator Johnson, of
Duplin, sent up an amendment which
would allow the State treasurer to
settle with counties on whatever dis
count basis he should deem advisable.
Opposing the amendment was Sen
ator Allsbrook, of Halifax, who said
that it would allow too much latitude
for politicians. He deolared that he
did not believe that the State treas
urer himself (Chiles Johnson) would
like the amendment, At once Senator
Johnson was on his feet. "The only
reason (Senator Allsbrook is opposing
this amendment is because he dislikes
me personally,” Routed the Duplin
Senator. Senator Allsbrook denied the
allegation and a compromise was
reached under which the maximum
discount permitted any county would
be ten per cent.
