Raleigh Aug. 28. —-The highway safety division of the Department of Revenue will start sending out the application blanks for the Statewide automobileh drivers’ license nex v.eek or as soon tereafter as pos yible. Assistant Commissioner of Re venue M C. S. Noble, Jr, said today. Orders for 1.000,000 application blanks for drivers of passenger cars and pri vately owned trucks and several hun dred thousand others for drivers of for-hire cars and trucks were placed several weeks ago and are expected to be ready by next week. At least one application blank will be mailed to every owner of an automobile or truck on record in the license division of the motor vehicle bureau, and it may decided to send two or three ap plication blanks to each owner. In addition, application blanks will be available at the salesroom of al automobile dealers in the State, a l ' veil as at all branch offices of th\ Carolina Motor Club and at all di vision offices of the highway patrol, so that applications may be obtained by the public with a minimum of ef_ fort No charge will be made either for the application blanks or for the drivers* licenses until after November 1 when the cost of a passenger car license will be sl. A fore-hire drivers’ license will be $2, payable when the application is filled out, whether be fore or after November 1. Any driver who receives pay ford riving a car or truck and whose principal occupa tion is driving a motor vehicle, will be required to obtain one of these $2 drivers or chauffeur’s licenses. While any person may fill out his or her application blank before a notary public and send it in for a license, drivers will be advised to fill cut the applications before highway patrolmen as much as possible, since they can save the cost of paying a notary public fee. It is expected that special days will be set for the ex amination of drivers and the issuing of drivers licenses by the highway pa trolmen in various places. Roosevelt Signs Bill Ban ning All Suits Over Gold (Continued from Page One.) clauses, coins, currencies or claims based on surrender of coin, currency or gold and silver to the government. Congress was asked by the admin tiation to close the courts to such liti gation—as it has the power to do— after the Supreme Court decided the government had no right to nullify gold payment clauses in its own ob_ ligations. The court held that a government bond-holder, whose case t:ien was be fore it. had failed to show actual damage. However, officials feared there might be a rush of new suits seeking to show damages. Potential claims which the new law ■will rar after the first of next year • have been estimated to total $7,000- ! COO 000. WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BlLE witbuui Calomel--And You’ll Jump Out of Bed ia the Morning Parin’ to Go The liver should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn’t digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Your whole system is poisoned and you feel sour, sunk and the world looks punk. Laxatives are only makeshifts. A mere bowel movement doesn't get at the cause.

Map shows, also, Ethiopia in relation to Brit* ish, French and Italian spheres of influence. Says Charles P. Stew* art, Central Press’ observer, “If Mussolini gains control of Ethiopia he gains control of the headwaters of the Nile, and, by diverting the flow, can make a det«: t of John Bull's sphere of influence in Egypt.*^ By CHARLES P. STEWART Washington, Aug. 28. The State Department senses the rapidly ap proaching end of what has been, known as the post-war era. That is to say, the World War cre ated a new set.up of international conditions to which American dip lomacy finally learned to adapt itself after a fashion—not very competently but more so than previously. It never had the slightest inkling as to the significance of international condi tions in the pre-war era. Now post war conditions are transforming themselves into a still newer set-up. In all candor, the alleged experts of the State Department understand them only superficially. It is obvious to U. S. State Depart ment observers that Premier Musso lini of Italy intends to grab Ethiopia, if he can, but they have no idea what repercussions (as diplomats express it) will follow. LOOK AT THE MAP Why England is most immediately worried by Italian ambitions is evi dent to anyone who takes a glance at a map of northeast Africa. If Mussolini gains control of Ethi opia he gains control of the head waters of the Nile, and, by diverting the flow, can make a desert of John Dull’s sphere of influence in Egypt. Incidentally J. Bull does not desire 1o have any other power strongly in. Denched at any point on his water cute to India and th farthr Orint. ,’h preclude such a possibility, Brit ish air and naval forces have been concentrated at Gibralttar, Malta and Port Said, mouth of the Suez canal. FRANCE’S INTEREST France’s interest, though on a smal ler scale, equally is explicable. The French have a mouthful of ter rito; y, adjoining Ethiopia and also adjoining Italy’s northeast African holding, and naturally they have a prejudice against too strong a neigh bor. They, too, have Far Eastern col onies, to which they desire an unham pered line of communications. CLOSING THE CANAL? The Mediterranean long has been a warlike sea area. The Red Sea would become equally co, with England, France and Italy quarreling over it. The Suez canal enters into the equation. Mussolini cannot get to Italian Somaliland, his only foothold against Ethiopia, except by the canal or the impossibly long voyage around the Cape of Good Hope. And on that route to the Cape of Good Hope, there is the British fort of Gibraltar, guarding the Straits of Gibraltar. Perhaps England alone, and cer tainly England and France together, can close the canal against him. It would be an act of war on their part, however, to do so. HOW ALL COULD BE INVOLVED In the meantime, what would Aus tria be doing? A substantial Austrian group wants to join Germany, and Germany is ve hemently desirous to have them do it but both are withheld by Italy. Supposing Italy to be engaged in a life-and.death struggle in the Medi terranean and the Red sea, mightn’t Germany and Austria effect a merger anyway? Such a merger would jeopardize France. It certainly would jeopardize Rus sia. If Russia should try to interfexe, it would oe an invitation to Jipan (already pro-Ethiopian) to attc v the Soviet folk from the rear door east ern Siberia. It likewise would be the signal for China to try to free itself from Japan ese domination. Neutrality Act Is No Guarantee Yet (Continued from Page One.) profits are hailed (no such bill was passed). But the causes o war lie deeper, psychologists tell us. WAR CAUSES War is caused by greed for more land, for more trade, for more profits War is caused by nationalistic emo tionalism. War is caused by a desire to main tain a creed or to enforce it. (Re member the religious wars”) War is caused by a feeling of in feriority, thus there follows action to demonstrate superiority. War is caused by leaders who try t 0 cover up defects in their own gov ernments with a cry against ar» “enemy.” And war sometimes comes merely as an emotional outlet to a highly or. ganized people. The most-innocent ap pearing organization can become the most highly militaristic. And war often results when a great “defensive” military machine has: been built—and it begins to justify its existence. (Generals and admirals never will understand this.) GOOD FOR BUSINESS? Then there are people who say war is good for business. They say that in spite of 20 mil lion casualties of the World war and the millions who have starved since because of that. Such ignorant people believe an other war would employ thoses tarv ing millions. It would triple the starving mil lions. Who says that? The people who should know —financial New York The financial world prays for In ternational understanding. One more war—and there would be no more fi nancial world. Wile Preservers EM* .

But now there is no chance of get ting any money from the Federal gov ernment for old age pensions until after Congress meets again, unless President Roosevelt can find some way to utilize other funds for the pen sions.

For people here know only too well how much trouble the uncertainty a special session of the General Assem bly can cause and they have no de_ sire to see another long session get started. They know that no matter what a special session might be call ed for, it would be impossible to keep it from taking up other matters and playing politics. Raleigh is just be ginning to recover now from the 193 b session of the General Assembly which lasted almost five months, and has no desire to see another long leg islative cat-and-dog fight get under way, even under the guise of enacting old age pension legislation. Those who have been urging a spe cial session, however, many of them anti-sales taxers w:io wanted a spe* -ial session more in the hope of get :ing a chance to repeal or reduce the sales tax than to enact old age pen sion legislation, were considerably crestfallen today at the sudden col. apse of the movement in favor of a. special session, which had been sky ocketing for almost a week now. They were equally crestfallen at the apparent further collapse of Huey Long, at whose throne many of these politicians have been worshiping, even though somewhat secretly. For the prevailing opinion in most circles here -oday, even among former admirers of Huey Long, is that while he start ed out like a skyrocket, he reached 1 iis zenith a good many weeks ago and is nothing more than a rapidly descending charred stick. That there will be a tremendous protest from the old people who would have benefitted from the old age pen dons both in North Carolina and over the entire nation, is conceded.

There are some who still think a special session of the General Assem bly should be called for the purpose of straightening out the liquor law tangle and to enact some form of Statewide liquor legislation. But no one here believes the governor will consider for a moment calling a spe :ial ssssion for this purpose. It is pointed out that most of the counties n the Slate arep retty well satisfied with the present patch-work liquor laws, that liquor is more plentiful and easier to get over the State as a whole than ever before and that every one concerned is pretty well satisfied. Most observers here feel that there is 10 great need for any further legis. lative action with regard to liquor until after the Supreme Court passes upon the present laws, at least. So hat basis for a special session seems out. of the picture. In fact, a special session seems out of the picture.
