MEN BURIED UNDER SAND

"Tobe" Jones, young colored man
of this town. was buried under tons of
gravel ard sand while working in a
gravel pit near Armstrong; Corner
shortly after noon last Friday. When
dug from his living tomb and revived
by physician it was found that he had
sustained a compound fracture of both
legs, and had one hip djslocated, had
sustained severe bruises over the en-
tire. body, and was badly lacerated
about the face and head. Two colored
men who were working with Jones es-
capped with minor bruises and lacera-
tions of the face and body.
Jones and the other men had been
engaged to load trucks with gravel be-
ing hauled to the cannery Of Middle
ton & Co., at Armstrong; and had
just finished loading one truck. They
stepped back under the bank of the pit
in the shade to rest while awaiting the
return of the truck when, without
warning, the upper part of the bank of
the pit caved in on them, throwing
many tons of gravel and sand upon the
men.
A colored woman was nearby and
saw the cave-in, and gave the alarm to
a crew of wheat harvesters working in
a nearby field. Shovels We're procured
and the mems heads were uncovered.
All were in semi conscious condition
when removed from the pit. They were
taken to Armstrong; Corner by Robert
T. Cochran and Arthur Crow, who were
the first on the scene and DR.. j. D.
Niles, of Townsend, who was passing,
was called in. He attended to the men,
and later ordered the removal of Jones
to Wilmington hospital.

Household Himts---By Mrs. Morton
Mixed vegetables are attractive and

Mixed vegetables are attractive and
economical in salads, omelets, escal-
loped dishes and to use as garnishes
for meat dishes. If the small quanti-
ties left from packing different veget-
ables whole are placed in one can,
many desirable combinations can be
made. A good combination during the
spring season is young carrots, peas,
str1ng beans and young onions. A
mixture which the fall garden might
furnish is peppers, celery, onions and
small lima beans. Do not use beets
IN such combinations, because they
will discolor the mixture.
All the vegetables are prepared sepa-
rately as for canning and packed in
layers in a well-boiled jar, according
to U. S. Department of Agriculture
specialists. Each layer should be
packed as tightly as possible before
the next is added. Fill jars with a
brine. Put on boiled top and rubber.
Process in water-bath Gamer either
l20 minutes one day or one hour on
three successive days, or 35 minutes
In steam-pressure cooker under Is

Corn and Tomatoes Good.
Corn and tomatoes make a good CON-
bination to can. The resulting product
is served as vegetable dish. Blanch
fresh corn on the cob five minutes, dip
for an instant in cold water and cut
from the cob. Scald tomatoes from
30 to 60 seconds and dip in cold
water. Remove the skin and core.
Chop tomatoes into medium-sized
pieces. Mix thoroughly two parts of
tomatoes with one part of corn. Pack
the mixture in hot glass jars, add a
level teaspoon of sugar and one-half
teaspoon of salt to a quart. Fill jars

License Receipts 1929

Wayne county will receive $19,293.
as the account due her for her auto
mobile receipts for the first six months
of this year. it was announced Thurs
day by William A. Roach, secretary
of state, when figures compiled by
Frank A. Richards, of the department
were made public.
Neighboring counties will receive
as follows: Fayette. $3.50; Henry,
s19,O23; Randolph, $4,000 and Union,

to the counties within the next ten
days.
This Is the last big distribution that
will be made to the counties from auto
license receipts. The state legislature
of 1919, provided that, after the end
of the year the receipts for the last
six months of this year, which, are
never as large as those of the pre-
ceding months, will be the last the
counties will receive.
The auto license department under
supervision of the secretary of states
office, issued during the first six
months of this year 1913 more sets
of plates than for the whole year of
1918. The issue of sets up to July 1.
was 246,203, while the issue to date
has passed the 100000. The entire
1918 issue was approximately $4,000.

Heart and Beauty Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: A boy has
been going with one of my girl friends
and the other night he telephoned me
and asked to come over, but l said
had another date. I didn't really, but
l didn't know what I should do about
going with him. The girl is not my
chum and yet we are good friends. I
never liked the boy very we'll when
he was going with her What do you
think l should do? NELL.
Since you do not like the boy, do
not let him come to see you. Prob
ably you will get more pleasure out
of association with your girl friend
than with him. 1t might cause ill
feeling II you let him come to see you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
married three years and have two
children. My husband has been very
cruel to me lately. He flirts with
other girls to make me jealous, but
l am not at all jealous.
l love my husband dearly and he
cares nothing for me. He doesn't sup
port me- rs he should and if he doesn't
begin to treat me better l must leave
him, but 1t will break my heart to
do So
l am only twenty-eight and he IS
Twenty-Five. He says he is going to
get married again and l told him If
he did it would kill me. He said he

4 Chance to Live---By Zoe Beckley

FOURTEEN DOLLARS FOR FOUR
Scarcely had the wave of gratitude
for Bernie's safety passed over her
and subsidized into ripples Of lesser
anxiety-rent, clothing, fuel and food
than came to Annie the knowledge
that there was to be another baby.
Annie had never thought deeply about
motherhood one way or the other.
Like poverty, sickness and toll, she
had taken it for granted.
In her childhood, as she looked back.
she had always had a baby to lug
about, to care for, to deny herself
for. Her mother had but two younger
children than Annie. Most women OF
her familiar tenement district had at
least four. The Kaplips, the Roth
bergs, the Hennessys, the Simonettis
Annie could have licked off dozen
families she used to know that had
anywhere from five to twelve. You
married And you had children. With
each one all the others had less to eat
less to wear, less care from the tired
mother, less room to breathe in, less
chance to live.
Now the full tragedy Of 1t all came
home to Annie That motherhood
should have to be a tragedy! That
this second baby whom she wanted
to want, even as she had wanted lit
tie Rob- should be brought into a
world that did not even assure him
sustenance at his mothers breast. For
as Annie peered into the dim months
before her she could not see where
even sufficient food would come from.
Aunt Margaret was still without a
position and living on her slim say
ings jamie was carrying the entire
Hargan household on her wage that
had been increased to eleven dollars.
Bernie might get his old place back
when he came out Of the hospital--at
$14. There would soon be four of
them to live upon it, and every week
the cost of food was rising. Where
could money be found to buy the com
ing baby's outfit? She remembered
the black calico wrappers with the
tiny flowers that had constituted the
wardrobe of her brother when he was
born, a remnant of somber cotton, be
ing all Mrs. Hargan could afford, with
her husband out of work.
Life seemed to be repeating the
trials of early years. thought Annie,
as she rocked RObsie by the window
and looked out over the vacant lot,
whose waste-strewn surface was sod
den with wintry rain. She knew that
by walking three blocks west she
would come to Stuyvesant square,

with its dignified handsome homes.
Here were many fine and kindly peo-
ple-yet who knew no more of her
perplexities and struggles than if they
lived on another planet. They never
walked east of Third avenue. They
were vaguely aware that long, SUM
my streets stretched over there where
poor families lived, and that poor FAM
lilies always had such RATS of chill
dren."
Good ladies from the aid societies
connected with churches gave Christ
mas parties to the tenement children.
And sometimes visited their homes.
They always meant well, and they
usually left with comments to one
another on the unthriftiness of East
Side mothers, the untidy households
they maintained, the too-badness Of
the fathers drinking beer, and the de-
plora bility in general of slum condi-
tions.
But what did they really KNOW
about it all? Annie asked herself
bitterly. What desire had they to
find out WHY the East Side women
kept slovenly houses and the toiling
fathers stopped at saloons? How easy
for a well-housed, well-clothed, we'll
fed woman with one child and three
maids to frown at the "rafts of chill
dren" at her back door step! Yet
for all their frowns, she felt that every
one of those women in the houses
over there. every prosperous doctor
and lawyer, every clergyman in the
handsome churches, would shrink from
her in horror if she voiced rebellion
from this second motherhood.

entertainment for boys and girls OF
sixteen to eighteen years?

a boy before she lets him kiss her.
co Is it proper for two girls to go
to a dance without a gentleman es-
cort?
ca Could you tell us what will be
the best for a dress for dances and
parties in a small town this winter,
something in style? We are sixteen.
TWO GIRLS.
(1) Probably girls and boys from
sixteen to eighteen enjoy dancing
more than anything else. Those Of
more serious turn of mind prefer cards
or games.
ca 1t is not a question of "how
long a girl should go wit boy be-
fore she lets him kiss her. She should
not permit it unless he has told her
he loves her and wants to marry her.
(3) A girl should not go to a dance
without a gentleman escort.

Central Labor Council passed a reso- lution to call a referendum vote of all affiliated labor unions to ascertain the sentiments of organized labor in Seattle in regards to calling out their members on sympathetic strike to assist the strikeing shipbuilders.
 Forty five thousand men are re- ported to be idle in Seattle, Tacoma and Aberdeen, Washington. The Strikers are determined to hold out until the Companies agree to their de- mands.
 There are no disturbances, the strike being carried on in an extreme ly orderly manner.
 It is expected in local labor circles that the vote of the affiliated unions will be favorable one. In this event thousands of workers will be involved and all industry will practically cease.

into the United States for the next four years. The act if carried, it is hoped will solve the unemployment problem by giving the American In- dustries a chance to readjust them selves to peace conditions. while the danger of flooding this country with cheap labor will be eliminated.
 It is considered absolutely neces- sary to place some check upon immi- grafton as owing to conditions in the debt ridden countries of Europe, millions were expected to emigrate to the United States to better their con- ditions.
 An early passage of this act by both Houses of Congress is expected by the Immigration Committee.
