Dear Worried Wife : to Be - It

than the illusion that mis- wife is
just little girl, unable to take care
of herself without big strong man
to help her.
The contrast of your frail femin-
unity with his strong masculinity
probably is one thing that has
charmed him. Why, just think, you

herself almost to death to achieve

Dear Lonesome and Blue-When
a husband grows cold and indiffer-
ent, there is nothing you can do but
pretend not to notice it. Love is one
thing you can not get by begging for
it. If husbands could will them
selves to love their wives, most of
them would do so, for no decent
person deliberately chooses to make
another unhappy.
Sometimes women read a deep
dark reason in the indifference of a
husband that does not exist. Once
/ knew young married woman who
was heartbroken over her husbands
formidable manner. She was sure
he had ceased to love her
When I talked to the husband,
found that he was trying to give up
cigarets on the doctors orders, and
the strain on nerves accustomed to
nicotine made him

Rich Botanical
Collection Found

Botanists pushing their way into the
deeper, almost unexplored portions of
the Great Smoky Mountains Nation
al Park, and ascending to the sum-
mits of the high peaks in the area of
466,577 acres destined to be the ma
TONS greatest playground, have found
here, one of the richest botanical col
lecting grounds in America. Of the
5000 species of plants, to be discover
ed within the bounds of North Caro-
lima, according to Prof. B. w. Wells,
of North Carolina State College, the
larger portion are distinctive of this
mountain region.
Ranging from the warm climate of
the valley attitudes, 1900 above the
sea in some places, to the more severe
aboreal conditions of the high sum-
mits, more han 5000 feet above the
sea, the environment in the Park is
adapted to a wide range of plant life.
At the lower levels are grouped the
trees, shrubs and plant indigenous to
Northern Georgia while at the sum-
mits of the higher peaks may be found
the flora which is typical of Southern
Canada.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors
are expected to see the scenic beauty
of the Great Smokes every year. They
will be treated to a feast of botanical
glory in the vast virgin forests, the
exhuberantly growing shrubs and
plants, many of them rare in other
sections, but growing here in album
dance. Rare and unsual orchids and
lady-slippers, true Solomon's Seal
growing to the height Of a mans
head, species of dogwoods other than
the familiar variety, are a few of the
botanical "finds" in the Park. Forest
trees reach a diameter at the base of
the trunk of nine feet, or greater.
Tulip trees and sweetgum fill the val
ley forests and the SUBMITS are crown
ed with vast areas of spruce and Fras-
er's balsam similar to Canadian for
ests.
Of particular interest to the visitor
in the National Park in late May, June
and early July is the brilliant display
of the laurel, rhododendron and azalea
blossoms. Every variety of these snowy
shrubs are discovered in massed and
colorful beauty in the National Park.
Soil conditions, the abundance of mois-
ture, the long growing season and the
wide range of climatic conditions are
ideally suited to the wide variety of
flora.

SURVEY SHOWS ISL
per CENT voorhees,

Raleigh.-There are 1851 per-
sons in North Carolina unemployed
or IS per cent of the total of Ill.,
129 workers in the state, according to
figures just compiled and released by
L. L. Mallard, chief statistician of the
State Department of Labor. The fig
ures are based on the results of a sur
vey of unemployment in the state
made during December.
This 14s,347 unemployed is 49,
$50 less than the number of unem-
ployed in the state in September,
1881, when a survey showed the I'M
employed to number approximately
17S,016. But it is 1871 more than
the number of unemployed estimated
in the state on January 1, 1881, when
the number was placed at only 3d.
596. On April 1, 1880, the number
of unemployed in the state was esti-
mated at only 44,122.
Of the 148,347 persons now I'M
employed, 3 per cen are women and
68 per cent men. Of the women, 40
per cen are factory workers, A per

Teacher Pay Slash
Blow At Children

Washington.-"If our classrooms
are in the hands of incompetents, then
we are committing intellectual sui
eide" declares J. w. Crabtree, secre-
tary of the National Education Asso-
citation, in a foreword to a report on
teachers salaries made public by the
association.
Crabtree denounces efforts to cut
teachers pay, saying that teaching is
an underpaid profession, and adding:
Recently a few thoughtless per-
sons and some organized groups have
thought it possible to relieve the &C.
onomic depression by reducing the sal
aries of teachers. Economic stability
and the return of prosperity will new
er be secured by widespread reduction
in buying power through arbitrary
wage cuts"
The report says that a majority Of
teachers in city schools throughout the
country receive salaries lower than the
average annual income of all gainfully
employed workers, despite the fact that
educational salaries have risen in the
last two years.
Salary figures for the academic
years of 193O-31 were obtained by the
association from 1852 cities with pop
ulations of $500 persons Or more.
Of the 100000 teachers employed
in the cites reporting for salaries, more
than $4,000, or 81 per cent of the
total, received less than $4,000 an
nually, the approximate average in
come of all gainfully occupied per-
sons in the United States.
The best showing was made by CT
ties of more han 100000 in popula-
ton, where only "a per cent of the ell
ementary, kindergarten, part-time, anc

ers were paid less than the average

Advance Many Plans
For Depression Ills

However unemployment and bust
ness difficulties may eventually be
solved the national committee on mo-
bilization of relief sources has found
no lack of plans.
Here are a few of them. Some are
untried, others tested successfully.
A woman whose Wisconsin farm
home, held by her family for 80 years,
was sold recently to satisfy a mort
gage, proposes a moratorium "prohib-
iting the foreclosure or sale under
foreclosure for two years, or until the
return of normal times"
A Hollywood salesman, who has
'just lost a lifetime's saving in a bank
failure" proposes a $5oo,ooo,ooo is
sue of UNITED Nation Bonds" bear
ing 4 per cent interest to be sold to
those who now have their money in
safe deposit boxes and socks"
The proceeds would be lent, at 5
per cent, to those who need assist
ance, and thus would take the sting
out of charity" it is claimed.
The Penny-A-Meal club of Allan
ia, Ga, conceived by Mrs. Thomas X.
Glenn, whose husband is chairman of
the First National Bank, has received
many members who promise Ito eat
no meals for the next five months
without contributing one penny each
meal for the aid of the unemployed"
A Connecticut man proposes that
a fund of a billion dollars be raised
annually, the income from which
would be used for old age pensions.
Another plan suggests a permanent
emergency corporation which would
offer five hours work a day on pub
lie projects to all applying.
A New York engineer urges this as
a propitious time for undertaking his
plan of extending the tip of Manhat-
tan island six miles down the bay.
Another planner suggests the issue
of half-dollars concentrating the
Washington bi-centenary, the coins
to be sold for a dollar, and the profit
to go to relief funds.
