RALEIGH, May 25.-One OF
the first acts of the new State
school commission was to order
forms 10 be sent to ali the city
and county boards Of education
to be filled in with their Selec-
tions OF city and county superin-
tcnGen.S for next year. then to
be returned to the school conf
mission for its approval. For the
new school machinery law re-
uuires that the election and en-
rloyment of all city and county
superintendent shall be approved
by the State school commission
before such employment. shall be-
come final. In the past. the EN-
rlOyment of a city or county SUI
perintendent has had to be APP
proved only by the particular
board of education under which
he has served. This was one OF
the provisions in the new law that
was fought 50 bitterly by some of
the city and county superlnten-
dents when the machinery bill
was under discussion in the gen
eral assembly.
1t may be that the school com
mission decided upon this step
merely as one of several routine
matters in connection with the
administration of the new school
law. But those close to the inside
o. the complicated school Situa-
ton here regard this incident of
real significance and more than 4
mere routine act. They believe
that in making this move, the
school commission is serving no
tice upon the 100 county super
intendentS and some 85 or so
city superintendent that from
now on they are employees of the
State of North Carolina, in \
statewide, state supported eight
months school system, and that
they must accordingly show some
real desire to carry out the law
and to cooperate with the school
commission in administering it, il
they wish to continue to hold
Jobs as superintendent. 1t is also
regarded as serving notice on the
small group of city and county
superintendent who have beer

WASHINGTON, May %. (UP),
President Roosevelt's task of Sc

to the world economic confer

night as Senator Hiram John"
son, Republican, California, de-
clined an invitation TO serve.

MORGAN BRITISH TAX
ON LAND HELD THERE

WASHINGTON, May %. (UP)
The late Calvin Coolidge was re-
vealed today as a favored pur-
chaser of J. P. Morgan company
securities.
The name of the man who was
president during the boom years
was revealed on the list Of nation
ally prominent persons who were
given opportunities to make quick
lturnovers in securities offered
through the famous banking
house.
The list was made public after
the inquiry developed an effort
to establish whether the Morgan
firm had offered opportunities to
make quick profits in expectation
that political favors would be Of
fered in return.
Morgan, in explaining that he
paid income taxes in England dur
ing the years he paid none in the
United States, said in a statement
today that the taxes were under
British inland tax law and based
on rental value of property he
owned there. He said the taxes
lamOunted each year to about sew
en- thousand pounds.
A letter from John J. RaSkob,
former chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee. was
the basis of an attempt to connect
Morgan favors with political re-
turns. Raskob wrote he hoped the
future would give him "opportun-
ity to reciprocate for courtesies
extended by Morgan and COM
pany."
WASHINGTON, May -. Up)
The paternal financial influence
of the house of Morgan over
Americas public figures states
men, captains of industry, public
heroes-was revealed dramatical-
ly yesterday before an amazed
senate committee.
Those who have attained to the
cabinet, to the supreme court, to
the senate, were disclosed as bene-
ficiaries in an "inside" stock trans
action arranged by j. p. Morgan
and company whereby a select list
of "close friends" were put in a
position to profit handsomely.
Listed among over 100 persons
who were "let in" on an Allegheny
corporation stock issue in Febru-
airy, 1929, at $50 share, when
it was selling at $31 to S35
share. were Secretary of Treasury
William H. Woodin, Associate Jus
tice Owen j. Roberts, of the su-
preme court, Newton ID. Baker,
Senator William Gibbs McAdoo,
former Secretary Of Navy Charles
F. Adams, later a cabinet officer
in the Hoover administration,
Charles A. Lindbergh, Owen d.
Young, John j. Raskob. then
chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, and many 9TH
ers whose names are household
words. Neither Woodin, Roberts
nor McAdoo was in official life
when the stock was purchased.
Senator'S sat back in astonished
silence as the slender Geo. Whit
Iney, partner in the Morgan firm,
described this stock transaction in
which participants doubled their
investments. Perspiring and balk-
ing at the pugnacious inquiry Of
Ferdinand Pecora, committee
counsel, Whitney admitted that
he, himself, had made profit of
$229,411 by sale of S,1t5 of his
stock of $4,000 shares in 1929.

81 BRUCE CATION

TT is hard to get a look at the
Il real personality of Marie An
toinette. The revolutionists called
her a compendium of all the vices,
and the rOyalistS after the Bour-
bon restoration, saw her as a saint
who could do no wrong; and for
most of us She is a cardboard figure,
bright, tinseled7rEnd unreal.
Stefan Zweig brngS her to life in
marie Antoinette: the Portrait of
an Average Woman and it is his
subtitle that gives the key to her
character.
She was, he SAYS, an average
woman-and that was her tragedy.
Fate put her in place where she
had to be a great ruler, a second
Maria Theresa, and the job was be-
yond her.
She had the faults Of the average
woman. and in her position those
venial faults became high crimes.
Not until she was lodged in the Con-
ciergerie. awaiting the guillotine. did
her real greatness awaken; and then
it was too late.
Mr.. Zweig abSolves her from the
calumnieS of the revOlutioniStS. She
was woefully indiscreet, frequently
rather silly, he says, but never loose
or depraved.
But he insists that the royalistS
are equally wrong in their appraisal
of her; she had one lover. the
Swedish count, Fersen, and she gave
him the love and passion that Louis
XVI could not arouse in her.
And Fersen served her at the risk
of his neck, and their love affair is
one Of the great romances of history.

monty fine biography. The April

INSTANTLY sandra took charG

INSTANTLY Sandra took charge
Il of the situation.
Reluctantly, Monica admitted to
herself the older girls charm. San
dra was pretty bossy with both of
the men-with Charles Eustace
whom she addressed formally, and
with Dan, whose first name, Of
course, she employed.
Fancy finding you two here" San
dra draWled, pulling off her white
gloves and settling herself in a chair
opposite Monnie and next to Dan.
Her long-lashed gray eyes flickered
an instant over Monies simple
frOck.
For the briefest possible moment,
Monnie had the sensation that San
dra was coolly disliking her. Nom
sense! Sandra had been a good
friend to her all this last year, had
gone to some trouble, actually, to
be nice to her.
I'm imagiing things Monnie
decided, giving herself a mental
shake.
None the less, it CALLED her to
find that Sandra was calmly an
neXing Dan and that he was per-
hitting it. The color famed in
Monnie's face.
Sandra was talking to Dan in a
low, intimate tone. not to be heard

gaze full upon her. He asked, Care

word to the others. slipped into his
arms. How tall the man was! And
what enormous shoulders he had!
He seemed actually to dwarf Dan,
who had always. heretofore, seemed
Apollo-like in his proportions.
She was grateful to him. He
danced easily and well and Mon
MES small slippered feet followed
his steps smoothly. Once he spoke.
Sorry I don't do these new
stunts" She glanced up at him to
find he was smiling and indicating
the performance Of two or three
young couples dancing absorbedly
in the center of the floor. Cheek
to cheek. brow to brow, they re-
volved to the music.
Now and then they would break
apart and, with arms about each
others necks, walk forward slowly
wearing the rapt expressions of
sleep walkers.

TINE look Dan bestowed upon
u her was battling in its hidden
quality
He said easily, Not unless your
mother. sends me. Or wouldn't you
like to go for a ride? just out to
Mill Creek road and back"
Unaccountably, the girls heart
lightened What did it matter, after
all, whether Dan fibbed to her
about the time Of his arrival? He
was here, just as she had dreamed.
That was all that counted.
I'll dash upstairs a minute and
fix my hair" she murmured con-
fusedly, and vanished.
AS she traced the outline of her
mouth with a little raspberry col
ored stick and powdered her nose,
Monnie could hear the rumble OF
Dams voice, talking to her mother.
Her despair Of half an hour ago
had lifted. She felt cheered. Any
thing might happen. Anything
could. Was she fool to stake so
much on her hopes of Dan?
Why couldn't she care for Sam
MerriWeather or any Of the others
who dropped into the drug store,
eager for a brief chat with her?
Why had she fastened her atfec-
tons on any one so far above her
as Dan Cardigan?
Well, she had done it and it was
too late now to go back cOldly over
the progress Of her feeling for Dan.
Love was like a prairie fire. Once
lighted, it swept on madly, needless
of what it destroyed.
Good girl That didn't take
long" Dan approved, smiling down
at her.
Don't be late, dear" her mother
warned.
Now he was helping her into the
low-slung car. The door slammed.
The motor purred.
"Cold?" Dan was looking down at
her as they flew along, She shook
her head and laughed.
"Of course not. It's a beautiful
night. Just like summer She felt
happy now as she always did when
she was alone with Dan.
They talked a little-desultory
talk. Dan drove fast In the flash
ing lights before they reached the
edge Of town; Monica could see his
handsome profile
How splendid he was! What did
it matter if he had been driving
with Sandra that afternoon and had
not told her about it?
Il thought we'd drop in at the
Cabin for bit and dance" Dan
announced casually.
Monica felt a momentary flash Of
disappointment. OF course. it would
be lovely to dance with Dan. Just
to be seen with him was a matter
for pride But it was grand, too,
being alone together. However, she
said lightly, THAT would be fun"
She stifled her conscience. Mother
didn't like her to go out to the
Cabin, a harmless enough appear
