A Sermon for Today
nreamers Who Are Doors.
BY REV. JOHN R. GUM.

"And Joseph dreamed dream
Gen. 37:5.
( Just a lad was Joseph, IL years DID,
But at that early age he was dreaming
of a great future for himself. I would
not give much for the young man who
never has any dreams of the future.
Old men look to the past. They live
largely on the memories Of bygone
! davs. But youth looks to the future,
| and dreams of what it hopes to be and
do. And it's dream-hopes look upward,
not downward-except where youth has
been perverted in some way. In its
natural course, youth dreams OF its
| future, not around ideals OF the dsbas-
| ing sort, but around those ideals that
make life noble and useful. 1t dreams
not only of better things for itself, but
Of better things for the world-of ideal
conditions in society, in the promoting
of which 1t shall have a share. 1t would
be sorrowful thing for youth If it
never dreamed of the future with such
high expectancy.
Joseph dreamed a dream" And in
his dream he saw success, victory, a
future radiant and bright. But that
was not the end of it. AS the story
moves on, we see this dreaming lad

command of the most responsible posi-
ton in the mightiest empire of his
time. Joseph was doer, as well as
a dreamer. Otherwise his dreams would
have come to naught, and those chap
ters that tell the story of his triumphs
and brilliant achievements would be
missing from the Bible.
IT dream dreams, and then I paint
my Dreams" said a great artist. 1t is
a wholesome thing for youth to dream,
but life calls for something more than
mere dreaming. The dream-castles OF
| youth may be built into reality and
lighted up with the splendor of glor-
iouS life and achievement; but many,
through lack of decision and action,
let these castles fade away into the
darkness of despair and become haunt
ed with the ghosts of lost hopes.
Dreams come true only when we make
them come true.
Two things the dreamer should guard
against: The one, that of becoming
mere chaser after vagrant fantasies;
the other, that of fanciful vainglorying
in a state of sleepy inertia. Our dreams
are Interpreters of our inclinations, and
point the way to what we may attain
and accomplish But they require to
be studied and sorted. And then, hay
ing settled on a definite course, we
should act with promptness and energy.
The men who count in the world are
dreamers who are doors.

Gus pharmaceutical preparations Their
formulas are secret.
It is in connection with the word
secret, that culinary dishes are asso-
ciated. The word chartreuse, when APP
piled to solid foods. signifies a prepara-
ton of several main ingredients, one of
which is hidden or secreted in the
other
There are many recipes for char
treuse of solid foods, and any ingenious
cook can make her own varieties, always
provided she follows the rule of using
two or more main ingredients, one of
which secretes the ether or all of which
are hidden in still another ingredient.
The following is a tasty chartreuse:
The main ingredients are fish (pref-
erably halibut), tomato and cheese. The
tomato and fish are in equal proportions.
One cup each of finely minced Boiled
halibut, and tomato pulp wen drained
and cut into small pieces. One rather
small onicn. minced and sauted in one
tablespoon of butter. One tablespoon
flour stirred into the onion and butter
after the onion is slightly Drowned.
Blend with one cup milk to make a
smooth sauce, and add one well beaten
egg and one tablespoonful grated
Parmesan cheese; add one tablespoonful
each Of minced parsley and mince sweet
pepper, three-quarter teaspoonful salt,
one-eighth teaspoonful pepper and dash
of mace Into the sauce put the fish
and tomato, stirring gently, but suffici-
emily to make an even mixture.
Line a buttered mold with boiled
rice quarters Of an inch thick all
around Pour in the mixture, and cover
with rice until the mixture is COM
pletely hidden. Put the mold in a

30 minutes. Remove, unmold, and serve
with tomato sauce, or parSley-butter

Everyday Psychology
~ DIR. Jesse W. srRowLs.
Vanity.


"verily every man at his best state
Is altogether vanity"
Vanity runs deep in human nature.
But there are SO many varieties of
things in the makeup of men and
women that you can never tell which
Is which. To say that all men are
vain is truth. To say what a given
one Is vain about takes you into the
finest sort Of psychological analysis.
Each individual thinks and dreams
about his pet vanity. In ordsr to find
out what that vanity is, you have to
catch him Just as he emergeS from a
day dream. At least the day dream is
one clue. The chances are it's the very
best. Day dreams carry over into a
good deal of our ordinary converse
ton.
The next time you catch yourself day
dreaming, make an immediate attempt
to recall what it was all about. There
is no better way to find out what you
are or rather what you would like. to
be. You will have discovered your own
vanity.
If you should discover what it is, you
will know what your weaknesses are
You might even go so far as to make
q list of them. And then you can go
further and keep a record of how often
your particular vanity crops out. In
the course of few months you should
be able to guard yourself against 1t.
High powered statesmen know what
your vanity will do with the dotted

The only reason l see for the

the present vigorous demand
that the state take over the two
principal elements in the cost of
county government, the main
tenance of schools and the main
tenance of roads. The present
outlook is that the legislature
will yield to this demand either
entirely or in part. The ques-
ton is: where is the state go
ing to get the money with which
to take over the former county
functions and to carry on its
own activities. g

lay out a tax program. What

sources available for tapping by
the legislature, and that they
can be tapped without the i'm
position of an unreasonable bur
den upon any individual or bust

hcation, either in the present re-

Education and the State Debt

for schools, prisons, govern
ment buildings, and other pub
lie purposes. But the 100000
bonds for the water supply sys-
tenn are not counted in as part
of this allowable $240,000.
The reason for this is plain.
The 8 per cent limit is imposed
by the state as q protection to
the city's taxpayers and to the
city's credit. 1t applies only to
bonds which have to be paid for,
interest and principal. out, Of
taxation. Obviously the water
supply bonds are in an entirely
different category. The water
supply system is an investment.
There would be no more reason
to consider the cost of it as part
OF the 8 per cent limit than
there would be if it were OPP
Grated by private concern.
New York City has outstanding
hundreds of millions in water
supply and subway bonds which
are excluded from computations
on the debt limit because the
city geceives regular and depend
able revenues, from water and
subway rentals, to apply against
these bonds.
In all municipalities, from the
largest to the smallest, this diff
ferentiation exists. Here in
Chapel Hill, for instance, the
amount that will be paid in this
present year on bonds, for in
terest and installments, is
-S36, 1000; but only $4,000 Of this,
or 40 per cent, comes out of the
tax levy. The remaining $4,000
comes from special assessments
and does not affect the taxpayer

years and restrict the opportun-

the state to the other. ~
The Governor told his audi
ence of the debt of the state
and local governments. The
figures, the same that he had
presented a few days before in
his message to the legislature,
are as follows: In 1920 the state
bonded debt was II million dol
lars, and of local governments
so million. Today, the state debt
is ITO million, and of local gov
ernments 375 million.
The Governor did not mention
the fact that around 115 MIL
lion of the state debt was made
up Of self-supporting highway
bonds. OF course it might be
said that this was something
everybody ought to have known
without being told; yet it is q
highly important fact that ought
not to be omitted in any dis
cussion Of the subject. In all
analyses Of public debt, any
where, self-supporting bonds are
placed in a different class from
those that are non-self elf-support-
ing. The two states in which |
happen to have dwelled, New
York and North Carolina, both
have laws which exempt self
supporting bonds from the cal
culation as to the amount cot
bonds that may be issued in pro
portion to assessed Valuations
and ! have no doubt that most
or all Of the other states have
laws Of the same sort,
For example, suppose that q
city operates its own water sup
ply system in which 1t has IN
vested 500, 900. From its water
rentals it receives enough rev
enue to cover, as well as operat.
ing expenses, the interest anc
sinking fund payments on The
bonds issued for the cOnstruc
ton of the system. Let US sup
pose that the city's total as
sessed valuations Of taxable
property amount to $4,000, 900
The law says that it shall mo-
issue bonds to more than a Ger
tain percentage Of this 5000,
600 In North Carolina the per
centage is 8 per cent, and hence
the legal limit upon the, city''
bonds is S240, 900. That means

T paid balance.
Under the law these assess
ment bonds qualify as self f-sup-
porting bonds which are not
counted in the statutory 8 per
cent limit. But when the town
manager makes his report to
the state sinking fund commits
sion in Raleigh he reports the
gross amount Of bonds out
| standing. And it is these gross
figures that the Governor uses
when he states the amount of
public Indebtedness in North
Carolina.
So with the debt Of the state
government. Out of the total
debt of ITO million the self
supporting highway bonds ac-
count for lis million. The state
highway system is an invest
ment which, as all agree, has
been extremely profitable. The
gasoline tax and license fees
constituting highway revenues
have been sufficient not merely
to cover maintenance cost, in
terest, and sinking funds pay
ments, but to provide a large
balance besides. The contrib
utors TO the highway revenues,
i. e., the users Of automobiles,
have received return far be-
yond the money they have paid,
and the highways have been of
untold benefit to the states ag-
riculture, industry, and COM
merce
In a comparison Of the 1920
with the 1880 debt, therefore,
the highway bonds are not prop
erly included if one is speaking
Of the state debt as a burden
upon the taxpayers. For the
highway bonds are not burden !;
the state is financially better off
with them than it would be with
out them.
The foregoing facts and fig
ures demonstrate, | believe, that
the debt of our state and local
governments, in the sense of a
burden upon the taxpayers
, which is the sense in which
the Governor spoke of it
is far less than the total
figures he gave. To arrive
at an accurate statement Of
the debt as a burden upon the
taxpayers, subtract 115 million
from the ITO million state debt,
and subtract from the 375 mil
lion local government debt the
amount in self-supporting bonds
(This latter figure is not avail
able, because the state sinking
fund commission does not list
self-supporting bonds separate
ly. The water supply and the
assessment bonds will certainly
run to a large totaD.
AS to the counties and munici.
palities, I do not doubt that the
issuance of a. considerable
| amount of their bonds has been
imprudent. Here in Orange
| county, for example, a quarter
of millior dollar bond issue
went for dirt roads which were
not kept up and which have nov
gone to pieces. In recent months

county and the city of Ashevill.
| in contracting debts has beer
impressed upon the state. Ant
| there have been many other in
stances of unwise borrowing.
II AS to the state, | do not be
| lieve that it has been at all i'm
| prudent or wasteful in the is
| suance of bonds. With the self
| supporting highway bond
| counted out, the total state in
| |debtedness is about $55 100000
