before the Panama Mail liner ''EI
Salvador' now en- route to New
York Via the Spanish Americas, a
perfectly wonderful surprise for

was driven on the Panama Mail
dock. Captain Henry Stephenson of
the FL SALVADOR rccciptcd for it
and casually called to Miss Vidcs
who was sailing as a passenger to
pose for few pictures with the
machine. Very graciously she CON
scented and the c1mCraman shot scv-
eral plates to the accompaniment Of
many eXclamations of delight from
Miss Nides over the wonders and
comforts Of the new ear.
AS the last visitor trottcd down
the gangplank at the final warning
of the siren. the car was swung
aboard and lowered gently into the
hold. Miss Nidcs watched the pro
cccdings with interest and comment
ed to Captain Stephenson on the
good fortune of the owner.
Now comes the surprise. The ear
belongs to Miss Nidrs and She
doesn t know it, Here's the way Of
it

But times have changed, Bozo;
married couples have learned lot
about birth control and they do not
cucumber themselves with children
if they don't want them; our highly
machinized civilization has taken
over much of the work that women
formerly did in the home and the
machines are taking women out OF
the homes and putting them to
work in mills, stores and offices, for
wages. Women are becoming less

men are feeling less and less re-

Twelve strokes on a gong, and
two small children proceeded
down the stairway Of the Woman's
Club home on the corner of
Church and Pool streets, carried
between the two children was a
brass urn bearing piece of paper.
The children were followed by
Mrs. A. NJ. Stephens, attired as
Father Time and the march was
accompanied by soft strains OF
music in the main room of the
club home.
In the urn was the paid up mort
gage on the Clubs home and the oc-
casion was the burning Of the mort
gage by the club members by way OF
celebrating their freedom from in
debtness for the home. The Wo-
mans Club bought the home less
than four years ago, with borrowed
money secured by a mortgage on the
property. Due to hard work on the
part of club members the mortgage
has been paid off by raising money
in a hundred and one ways.
Club members ard invited guests
gathered Tuesday morning to wit
ness the mortgage burning cere-
monies and filled the roooms
of the club to their capacity. Mem
bers of the board Of directors OF
the Woman's Club who signed the
mortgage were called on by Mrs.
Stephens to describe their emotions
lust before the burning. The corn
ers of the mortgage were ignited and
it was allowed to drop back into the
urn and slowly it burned to ashes
while those present applauded vigor-
ouSly.
The meeting was presided over
BY Mrs. j. G.. Fearing, president,
and under whose presidency the
club home and fixtures had been
bought and paid for Mrs. Fearing
succeeded Miss Lille Grandy, who
was the first president of the club,
in 1925. Addresses pertaining to
club and library work were made by
DR.. Della Dixon Carroll and Mrs.
T. w. Beckett of Raleigh, and Mrs.
J. B. Kittrell and Mrs. R. L. Carr,
of Greenville. The Club will now
take up the work of organizing q
public library which will be located
in quarters of the Club home. A
collection of books donated by Mrs.
C. P. Brown in memory of her late
husband was presented to the
library in formation by j. C. B.
Ehringhaus.
After the ceremonies banquet
was enjoyed at the Virginia Dare

AROUND.
THE KILL DEVIL.

That the government is not go
ing to be niggardly in its expendi-
lures for the Wright Memorial at
Kill Devil Hills is indicated IN an
item of $4,000 for fence submit
ted to the Bulge Bureau last week
for transmission to Congress ana
inclusion i'm the next Deficiency
Bill, BY Major General Cheatam,
Guartcrmaster General OF the
Army.
There are 500 acres in the govern
ment reservation at Kill Devil Hills
and it is the purpose of the govern
ment to landscape the 500 acres
The hills are to be clothed with grass
and shrubbery, the great plane
North of the hills to be leveled and
grassed. runways to be laid out 1or
an airport, etc.
But the engineers and landscape
artists we're puzzled what to DO
about the wild cattle, hogs and banK
ponies that range on the beach,
This unfenced livestock would de-
stroy vegetation as fast as 1t plant
Ell.
1t was first thought advisable to
ask the General Assembly of North
Carolina to pass a law to compel
the owners of this live stock to keep
their animals under fence; but,
rather than clash with the self IN
terests of the natives, the War De-
partment has decided to fence in
the entire acreage. And 1t Will be
a man high, hog tight, bull proof
steel fence. Twenty five thousand
dollars will build real fence.
It should be obvious that the gov
ernment would not contemplate an
expenditure of $4,000 for fence if
it didn't plan to create something
big and permanent inside the fence,
One with a sense of humour might
suggest that the government will
spend $4,000 to protect its property
against the depredations OF about
$4,000 worth of razor back pigs and
tick-bitten cattle. 1t is probable
that all the live stock in all of Dare
County is not listed on the tax books
at so much as S5 900.
