You’ve probably been putting off
making a dressy afternoon frock un
til an unexpected invitation reminds
you you’ve nothing just right to wear!
Here's the very Jrock for that sudden
discovery for it can be run up in no
time at all. Its simple front yoke
becomes half the sleeve in back and
the front sleeve is all in one with the
softly gathered bodice. A festive bow
(or flowers if you prefer) lends a
dress-up air to the frock, especially if
you’ve chosen a daintily flowered
sheer of silk or voile. You’ll like the
slenderizing effect of the slim skirt
panels. Complete, Diagrammed Ma

Refusal of Lea
Pardon Is Approved
(Continued from Page One.)
heard here today. It was also in line
with what had been expected and
predicted by newspaper men generally
despite the fact that friends of Col
onel Lea and his attorneys, who had
been using every means known to po
liticians and high.powered lawyers
to sway the governor, seemed con
fident to the last that the pardon
would be granted. But those here
who have been following the Lea case
for years who either heard the trial
or had read the voluminous records,
were long ago convinced that the
“new evidence” in which Lea's friends
put so much faith and upon which
they based the application for par
don, would not overbalance the evi
dence of guilt presented during the
trial and his conviction by a jury.
The reaction of the every-day run
of people in the street here is that
the governor acted wisely and justly
in refusing to grant a parole to Col
onel Lea. They also realize that it
took a tremendous amount of devo
tion to duty for him to withstand the
terrific pressure to which he was sub
jected by powerful political
in this state, Tennessee and other
states For it is no secret that Gov
ernor Ehringhaus and Commissioner
of Paroles Edwin M. Gill were pro
bably subjected to more intensive
pressure in behalf of the pardon pe.
tition for Colonel Lea than for any
other similar petition in the history
of the State. Literally hundreds oi
letters were received from prominent
and influential people in all sections
of the country asking for clemency
for Lea, while hundreds of personal
and political friends of Cblohel Lea
came here in person to plead with
Commissioner Gill and the governor
in behalf of the pardon petition. Just
a few hours before the statement by
Governor Ehringhaus was released, in
which he declined to grant a pardon,
three “very influential men" confer
red with Commissioner Gill, and it is
believed with the governor, in a last
minute effort to persuade Commis
sioner Gill and Governor Ehringhaus
to at least delay action on the Lea
pardon petition, it was learned today.
In fact, this was , virtually admitted
byt (Commissioner Gill although he
would not reveal who these men were
That Governor Ehringhaus had be
come somewhat wearied by the in
tensive pressure, to which he had been
subjected by friends of Colonel Lea
was indicated in that portion of his
statement in which he said:
“Hundreds of people have called in
person upon both the governor and
the parole commissioner and urged
favorable action, in addition to hun
dreds of letters from prominent and
respeetd citizens of North Carolina,
Tennessee and other states. Every
one has been heard patiently and con
siderately and without thought or sug
gestion that the numerous appeaLs
might take on the semblance of an
effort to drive us into a wearied as
sent. The prisoner has every right to
be proud of his friends, though we
cannot permit either their prominence
or number to influence our action.”
The governor also pointed out that
most of the letters received asking
clemency did not go into the merits
of the case whatever, but were based
entirely upon “sympathy and personal
regard” for Colonel Lea.

Schools to Await
Passing of “Polio”
(Continued from Page One.)
Carl V. Reynolds State health officer
to the excellent cooperation on the
part of the public in oberving the
advice of the State Board of Health
against the holding of any meetings
and to the cooperation of parents in
keeping their children out of crowds
and places where numbers of people
congregate. Consequently it would be
very foolish to open any schools now
antil it is evident that the paraiys'* -
is definitely under control and on
the wane, Dr. Reynolds believes.
“We feel convinced that whatever
improvement has taken place in the
infantile paralysis situation has been
due to the splendid cooperation of the
public and of mothers and fathers in
observing our advice to keep child
ren at home and segregated as much
as possible to prevent cintact with
possible paralysis carriers,” Dr. Rey
nilds said. “We cannit urge too
strongly that this cooperation be con
tinued unabated, and that mothers
and fathers continue to keep their
children at home and away from
crowds and crowded places, even
though there is a noticeabl decrease
in the spread of paralysis. Otherwise
we may suffer a relapse and the epi
demic become renewed with greater
vigor than before. This is only one
of several reasons why we feel it
would be very unwise for any of the
schools to open any time within the
next three weeks, or until we know
that we have the paralysis epidemic
under definite control.”
The State School Committee is m
complete agreement with Dr. Rey'
nolds and the State Board of Health
and has passed resolutions advising
against the opening of any of the
schools which are scheduled to open
this week and on up to August. The
school commission has no legal au
thority to prevent the opening of any
of these schools, according to Leßoy
Martin, executive secretary of the
commission, since the local school
boards are the only ones that have
the authority to postpone opening
dates or to keep the schools closed.
So all the board could do was to pass
resolutions recommending that these
summer schc*ols, located for the most
part in about 15 western counties, be
not opened. The State Board ot
Health has also recommended that
all the local scfcbol abords refrain
from opening these schools until such
a time as the health authorities think
it will be safe to open them.
It is believed that the local school
boards in the counties in which these
summer term schools are located will
follow the recommendations of both
the State Board of Health and of the
State School Commission, ts any lo
cal board should disregard these re.
aommendations and attempt to open
the schools in defiance of these re
commendations, the local county
health officer has ample authority to
step in anl order the schools to be
closed in the interest of the public
health, according to the opinion here.
But it is believed that the various
city and county school boards which
have control over these summer term
schools will be only too glad to co
operate with health authorities
and defer the opening of the schools.
It is not expected that any of the
health officers will have to step in
and close any schools or take steps

New Economic Order in
America Is Causing the
British to Shiver
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer
New York. July 15. —The chief
change taking place in the United
States—esteemed the most powerful
capitalist county—is not the organiza
tion of labor, nor the various changes
in economic procedure, but in the dis
appearance of interest.
Interest has not entirely disappear
ed by any means But once the gov
ernment prevents a profit in the is
suance of money or the floating ot
bonds, once all bonds are made tax
able and once money is raised largely
by taxation instead of borrowings,
then interest will disappear.
And one the capital market can be
fully supplied by excess reserves forc
ed by government expansion of credit
—then it ceases to become a capital
market, for money becomes too cheap
a commodity for profit.
In brief, the United States may find
itself in a wholly changed economic
sphere, antagonistic to nations that
still maintain the orthodox capitalistic
views.
WHAT WILL BRITAIN DO?
Great Britain always has been sus
to prevent any from opening.
The quality of work done in these
summer term or “split term” schools
is very poor any way, according to
most members of the school commis
sion, many of whom wocld like to see
all these schools abolished entirely
and the opening dates deferred un
til the( regular fall opening date,
when most of the other schools open.
They maintain that the weather is
too hot during July and August, even
in the mountain sections, for children
to do good work and that it would be
much better to abolish all these “split
term” schools which start during the
summer and put them all on a single
term basis, such as all the other
schools are on.
