through their veins. The earth and
all that is on or round about it is the
slave of youth. No wonder the young
save having a jolly time while the
dear old season lasts. My seamstress
! (whOse daughter is working in a de-
partment STOREY recently complained
to me: II don't like winter, but my
daughter Jennie does. She's scarcely
home one evening all winter long.
These are the engagements she has for
next week: Monday she's going 1skat-
ing with crowd of young folks Tues
day she's going to a mistletOe party
at the home of girl friend; Wednes-
day night to dance; Thursday to the
movies; Friday to a molasses candy
pull; Saturday night, sleighing, and
Sunday, God willing, I'll see that she
goes to church. Each and every week
that follows is crowded with some sort
of entertainment"
Young folks have the time of their
lives in winter. 1t is at such affairs
as these that people become acquaint-
ed. Girls may go to these places by
introductions take place. They dance,
dine, chat and make merry. Each
young man plays the gallant-selects
some girl to take home. If he has
struck the fancy of the girl and she
likes him as we'll as anyone she has
met, she may invite him to call. Thus
romances begin. He accompanies her
to few dances, takes her out skating
and sleighing a few times. It is then
the audaciOus youth comes boldly for
ward to the parents, announcing that
the daughter cares for him. He asks
permission to pay court to her, with
a view to matrimony. Summer love
affairs, romances, hang on Indefinitely.
Winter love affairs eliminate in
speedy marriages. What's the rea-
son?
Well, don't know, unless it's in the
air. Instead of bewailing the great
number of festivities that crowd into
the lives of the young, one should be
glad that they can crowd SO much en-
jOyment into winter evenings. Youth,
joy, love and laughter are their due.
They traverse youths pathway but
once in a lifetime. Those who have
not had a happy youth-time thus far,
should start in at once to make up for
lost time. One cannot have too much
rational enjoyment while time is
young.

friends or strangers. There are q time
and place for all things. It is not
the time to call the girl of his choice
''dearie," Sweetheart" "duckie" or
'lOvie" when there are others within
earshOt. Nor should he put her to
maidenly shame by thrusting an IN
expected caress upon her. Let no
young couple imagine tbs they are
not observed wherever they may ap-
pear in public. A nice-looking youth
and maiden are sure to be the cynOsure
OF all eyes, admired as long as they
depOrt themselves in accordance with
good manners. When they deviate
from this they are made fun of. They
are then pointed out to other couples
who might be foolish enough to follow
their examples.
Even the most exacting sweetheart
should not expect her lover to be more
than polite to her in the company of
others. His lovemaking will be all
the more appreciated in her little par
lor, with only some few of her home
folks by. 1t is great to have a tender
heart, but it should not be worn on
ones sleeve ''for DAVIS to peck at" as
the old saying goes.

improvement resulted. One of the spe-
cial features was the removal Of many
advertising signs along highways, from
fences, trees, poles or other conspicu-
Gus points. In several counties loads
of waste lumber, consisting of what
had formerly been large signs, were
distributed as fuel among the poor.
A special statute gives any person the

Stale Bread.

An interesting study has just been
made of how and why bread grows
stale. Contrary to popular impression,
staleness in bread is not merely a
drying out. Bread will grow stale if
kept in damp box. The stating is
due to the fact that the starch grains
in the bread harden and dry, even if
the air is moist, the moisture going
over to the grains of gluten. The nu-
tritive constituents of the starch are
changed from a soluble condition to
more insoluble one. All this is the
exact opposite of the process that goes
on in baking. AS a result of the char
acter of the baking process bread may
be kept perfectly fresh for "a hours
by keeping it at temperature of los
degrees Fahrenheit. The digestibility
of stale bread is due to the fact that it
has to be thoroughly chewed before it
can be swallowed.

GARDEN SHOULD BE BALANCED
Impression Of "Lopsidedness" May Be
Avoided by Using Care in De.
signing and Planting.

To keep the proper balance in design
is salient point in any garden. To
give a concrete example, one may
imagine clump of evergreens in one
corner of the garden, and in the op-
pesite corner some Towering shrubs
the other corners may be balanced the
same way, which will avoid giving the
impression of a lopsided garden; this
theme of balance should run through
the whole design. The sky line should
be broken by occasional accent points
of taller-grOwing plants. In planting
the flower beds the taller and lower
growing plants should be intermingled,
for this arrangement lends a far more
artistic touch than the prevalent mis-
take of placing all the tall plants in
straight row, and the shorter ones by
themselves. Attractive combinations
of colOrs in the blooming seasons are
of greatest interest, the pastel shades
blending exquisitely, but decided col
ors should be combined with great
care; the different kinds of flowers
should be so planted as to be dispersed
through the garden, SO that when in
bloom a few lonely masses of color will
not be seen, but the whole garden will
be rich in the flowers of each season.
The paths should be governed in
width by the size of the garden, and
should lead to something definite for
the eye to rest upon, which may be
pool, a rustic seat or a sun-dial, etc.
If you are fortunate enough to have
view, this will form an excellent axis.
A winding stream is no greater an in
SEPARATION to the poet than it is to the
landscape lover it truly offers Won
derful opportunity for naturalistic
treatment, and with a few plants the
fairy touches are made which clothe
the stream in beauty.
Just as a garden surrounded with
shrubbery planted in clumps affords
occasional and unexpected glimpses of
the garden within, and thus enhances
the beauty of the glimpses by framing
them in, so the trees will add greatly
to view by framing in it.

ACTS OF LEGISLATURE
clerks Are Busy Preparing journal
''<lo Acts Were Passed BY 1917
Session of General Assembly.

Raleigh.-Principal Clerks r q
Self, of the Senate, and Walter Ias.
sitter, of the House, have started their
.orce on the preparation of the copy
tor the publication of the journals of
the two houses. This is to be COM
pleted for. the printers within two
weeks, most probably. There were
passed 1,215 separate acts and Sc res.
buttons at this session of the General
Assembly, compared with 1,498 acts
ana 10 resolutions two years ago.
Inc work of captionlng and side
noting the acts and resolutions is be-
ing pushed under the direction of the
secretary of State, this work being
uone Dy Col. w p. Bachelor, who
mas rendered this service for a mum.
Der OF the past sessions of the Legis-
Iature. 1t is long and tedious task.
He has more than half the bills can
TONED already and the principal side
noting done for many of the more
important bills. The bills passed in
the great rush of the first ten days
or the session to get ahead Of the
operation of the constitutional amend
ments, have all been captioned and
side noted, a special publication of
these having been gotten out within
a few days after the emergency legis-
lation was over.
1t is an interesting fact that prac-
tically no legislation as to the State
Department of Insurance was gotten
through this session. The general
committee bill know as Senate bill
No. 9O6, was defeated the last day of
the session through a fight that was
made by Representative Grier to re-
quire the State Commissioner of IN
surance to pay the fire marshal fund
into the state treasury. A bill to this
effect by Grier had failed earlier in
the session and he tackled on an
amendment to the general insurance
bill embodying the same provision
and the fight over this resulted in the
defeat of the whole bill. Under rul-
ings of the attorney general the COM
missioner of insurance both collects
and disburses the fire marshal fund
which has assumed considerable pro.
portions.

TREATMENT FOR CHILLED PIG
Young Animals May BE Quickly Re-
ViVed by Immersing in Water Of
About Blood Heat.

Pigs that have been chilled may be
quickly revived by immersfng them to
the mouth in warm water (not hot, but
about blood heat). This is much to be
preferred to warming them by FIRE
because the heat is applied so much
more uniformly and quickly. The sup
position that such pigs never amount
to anything is altogether incorrect, for
they generany will live and thrive.
Failure to get results has usually been
due to the pigs having been actually
frozen or to the use of water that was
too hot.

GIRLS WHO WORK IN HOMES.

Expect not more from thy workers than
is just;
Reward them we'll if they observe their
trust, :, ......- .,
Nor with them GOODNESS or pride invade
Since God and nature them our sisters
made.
''Wanted: A tidy young girl for gen.
eral homework in family of two adults
and three children. A good home guar
anteed, also generous wages and priv
ileges. Private house; all home cook
ing"
Wanted: Girl for general house
work for two adults in small fiat. Lit
tie cooking required. Buy all at bak-
cry and delicatesSen. Fair wages.
Fine air, fiat on fourth floor"
How many girls, looking for situa-
tions as general houseWorker, would
ignore the first advertisement and
jump at the chance to secure the place
offered in the second? Nine girls out
of ten would mentally exclaim: mo
children! Little or no cooking! Only
few rooms to keep clean. That place
is a cinch.' +
The doorbel of the fiat is constantly
rung. They pass the door of the
woman who has three children, turn
ing their heads the other way. Do
these girls make a wise choice? I
sent out hundred and fifty letters to
as many single workingmen, all of
whom would eventually look for wives,
putting this question up to them: 1t
would open the eyes of the better
class of working girl to know their
opinion on this subject. I will quote
the letter of one young man, which
voices the sentiment of the great ma
jority.
Dear Miss Libbey: / am glad you
ask my opinion on this subject. I
have long had serious thoughts con-
corning it. My views are that the
girl looking for soft place makes
shiftless wife. That girl is afraid of
work. She'd feed a husband on deli
catessen and bakery stuff until he lost
all vigor and all the blood in his
veins and was unable to work. She
would not make fit mother, knowing
little or nothing about children. The
girl who makes her own living in a
good home of others is fitting herself
day by day to care for home of her
own when she gets one. The study of
the married life of a young couple is
worth something to her. Above adj,
the study of child-life is the greatest
lesson a young woman can learn and
profit by later on. She sees how to
care for the infant, the toddler and
the older ones, what is for their we'll
being or dangerous for them. 1t is
brought to her attention what they
thrive on or what they may sicken
under. She learns the value of home
cooking, the greatest knowledge on
earth. The careful mother of a grow
ing family teaches her economy in
running a home. Such a girl soon be-
comes fitted to be the ablest kind of
aid to poor man who might wed her.
He could we'll intrust his savings into
her hands and see ahead future pros
perity and happy home.'-C. B. e.
All girls should have a knowledge
of homework and home life.

Not to Be Won Over.

A Nebraska farmer, who had been
counted doubtful at the best, greeted in
most unexpected way three prohibit
ton workers who approached him. He
was big, sturdy giant, and out in the
field picking corn. AS the crew from
the federation came toward him, head
ed by stocky business man, whose
flushed face belied his habits, the
farmer stopped his team, squared him
self around, assumed a defiant atti-
tude, and cried: "Come on boys. Come
on and talk to me all you want to.
But tell you right now, no matter
what you say and what you promise,
I'm going to vote her Christian

MANAGERS IN FORTY CITIES
New Plan Of Municipal Government
Has Grown More Rapidly Than
Is Generally Known.

If somewhere, sometime, in the ever
booming and quite frequently bloom
ing West there is not evolved the per-
feet plan for governing city, it will
not be for lack of experimentation
with governmental schemes. A good
many cities and towns scattered over
the map of the United States took up
with the idea of government by COM
mission during the first decade of the
new century. There was subsistence
to the rush for the commission govern
ment scheme about five years ago.
Then, in 1913, the Ohio legislature put
through a bill formulating what is now
known as the city managing scheme.
The idea has been acted upon to
an extent that the majority of people
are not aware of. Dayton, O., was
the first city of over 100000 pOpula-
ton to try-out the manager scheme.
but there are now about 40 cities
so governed. Twenty urban commu-
mites employed a manager last year,
Grand Rapids being the largest city
next to Dayton trying the new scheme
of government. The city manager plan
seems to be only a variation of the
commission government idea. There
is a commission, generally of five, be-
hind the manager, and the COM
mission generally appoints tie mana
ger.
The city manager plan has been
adopted even in states where there
is no statute providing for such plan
of government. The idea involved is
being applied in many instances
without any change in the framework
under the old councilmanic and city
mayor forms of government.

SWEETHEARTs TOO AFFECTION
ATE.

If freely may discover
What should please me in my lover,
1 would have her fair and witty,
More of court than city;
A little proud, but full of pity,
Light and humorous in her toying
Oft building hopes and soon destroying.
1t is we'll for a lover and his lass to
be sure of their affection for each 9TH
er. But it is not necessary to exhibit
before the public their great fondness
for each other. Haven't you seen the
silly pair of lovers holding hands in
the theater, blind to the knowledge
that people were observing them and
tittering? Many a summer lover is a
nuisance. He persists in putting his
arm behind her seat when he takes
his girl trolley-riding. The winter
beau makes himself quite as conspicu-
Gus by holding his sweetheart too
closely clasped in his arms in the
dance, and being unable to restrain
the fond words he whispers to her.
He forgets other people have sharp
ears and that he brings both himself
and the girl into ridicule. If he is in
vited to sing before a company of
friends he is sure to select the most
sentimental love ditty. He sings di-
rectly at the girl he cares for, bliss
fully unconscious that anyone else is
listening.
If the girl is quite as responsive, en-
couraging him in his lovemaking be-
fore others, they make a sorry pair.
Their friends do not invite them to
their homes after they have ceased
making jokes Of them. His male COM
paniOns ere apt to call the man a "soft-
headed cad" Young women call him
"a foe fish fellow" The pair satisfy
only each other. If the maiden is at
all sensitive, she does not relish his
parading his affection for her before

To Rebuild Hickory Nut Gap Road.

o neOOIIO T1ICkOIy lNuI zap hOaQ.
Asheville-PeopleO of the Esmeralda
Inn and Bat Cave section are rejoicing
over the action of the Legislature in
passing the bill to place Is convicts
at work on the Hickory Nut Gap Road.
The prospect of again having road to
Asheville, after being cut off practi-
cally since the flood of last July, has
caused the people of those sections 20
take on ? new lease of life.
Few people realize just what the
people of the Esmeralda Inn and Bat
Cave sections have undergone since
the flood last July. OF the highest
Caucasian type, these men have hest
tated to even accept proffered aid,
much less to ask it, and have existed
the best they could, shooting game
and sharing rabbits for food.
The section of the country in the
gorge is admirably adapted for NOV
ing picture stunts, as well as for it's
scenic magnifcence, and with a road
opened through from Asheville, they
are confident that they can redeem
their past losses and also fortify them
Ives for the next winter. The road
will be a veritable Godsend.

SHOULD SUBMARINE ATTACK
AMERICAN SHIP ALL FORCES
WILL RESIST.
SHIP OWNERS ARE NOTIFIED
Vessels May Now Mount Guns and
Will Have Full Backing Of Govern
ment Forces, But Shoot-on-Sight
Policy is Not Announced.

Uashington.-The United States
government has begun actual prepar
otions for arming Germany's sub
marine warfare. Ship owners hav
mo been notified of President Will
CONS decision that he has full author
;+v to proceed with this policy, de-
Tolls we're taken up so there might be
&c little delay as possible in granting
reouests for defensive armament.
When vessels sail under the policy
Of armed neutrality, they will have
the full backing Of the Administra
tion expressed in the form of naval
Guns and gunners and war risk insur.
once. 1t was made clear that the
entire resources of the United States
will be ready for action should Ger
many attack an American armed ship
in violation of the warning of the
American Government.
The State Departments view of de-
fansiye armament, was that the mere
anpearance of a German submarine
neriscope near an American armed
vassel would entitle the ship to take
all measures of protection on the pre-
sumption that the U-bOat's purpose
was hostile. This was based on Ger
manv's announcement that her sub
marines would attack without warn-
ing any belligerent or neutral mer-
chantmen encountered within the
barred zone.
Whether this position will be en-
bodied in instructions to command
ers of American armed ships, ami
whether arms and ammunition will
be furnished to vessels carrying con-
traband were up for discussion, but no
announcement on either point was
authorized.
President Wilson's attitude has
been that no steps of a belligerent
character should be taken and that
if a state of war comes, it must be
through Germany's commission Of
acts in clear violation Of international
law. Despite the State Departments
ruling. some officials are known to
feel That in line with this policy the
United States should not sanction a
shoot -on-sight program which might
be construed as aggression.
