Il sec by the papers that a COM
mission appointed by the Episcopal
church has made report on the
divorce problem" said the Soda
Jerker TO the Bank Clerk.
".And what is the upshot OF it?"
asked the Bank Clerk.
They say that the principal
causes of divorce are the break down
of home life, hasty marriages and
sex tension. Of course there arc a
number of minor reasons given, the
last of which is finances
And in my opinion the last
reason should he first" said The
Bank Clerk. Lack of finances or
bad financial management is re-
sponsiblc for more family strife and
marital discomfort than everything
else put together.

ANOTHER CASE

Mary Louise Baileys Christmas

daughter Of C. C. Bailey of this

womsn's College, Greensboro. had
her leg broken when her fathers
automobile turned turtle on slip
merry ROAD near Bethel. in Pitt Coun-
sv on Sept. II. The leg was badly
1acerated below the knee and broS-
cn above the knee. For five weeks
shc laid in a hospital bed in Green
vile waiting on the healing OF the
decorations before the broken ponc
was set.
During those five weeks 80 pound
v..irht maintained a pull on the
broken leo and when the GreenVllie
doctors set the broken parts and put
the limb in a plaster cast they aSSuf-
ed her that the bones had already
fairly knitted and that she would DC
up and about by Christmas. for
six weeks more she was coailneo
with the limb in plaster.
Last week the plaster cast was
removed and an X-ray picture made
at the Elizabeth City hospital. The
bones had not been joined together
ot all. the broken leg was nearly
tuo inches shorter than the other

mas plans were knocked all 10
pieces. II will be six weeks liio' {

Lo7ody! Lordy!
Look At Dem
GrupeDlB8ers!

An aged colored woman in the
Negro ward of the Elizabeth City
Hospital was scared nearly out of
her wits at a late hour Saturday
night when she saw three white
men digging in tho ground outside
her window and thought they
were digging 4 grave.
And the nurses had trouble ex-
planning to her that the hospital
was installing a new oil burner to
keep the furnace going. They al
most lost a patient that night.
When an Oil-O-Matic oil burner
at tho hospital failed TO function
Saturday night. Dr.. John Saliba
owner of the hospital decided tc
take no mere chances. Only few
weeks ago that Oil-O-Matic failed
in it's ignition and there was g
frightful explosion that nearly
wrecked the furnace room.
Saturday night the Oil-O-Matic
again failed and another explosion
was narrowly averted. w. G. Alb
bott and l.. Lewis Smith, dealers IL,
a we'll known make of oil burners
persuaded DR.. Saliba he shouldn't
trust that oil burner any longer
And being an enterprisin2 pair they
put on their overallS and with tn:
aid of a helper put their new Oh
burner in the hospital Saturday
night. And so the grave diggerS
working on the hospital grounds ol
moonlight at a late huor Saturday
night are explained.
