plished by First-Term
Man From County
Tho TimcS-NewS Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, May l9.--Although
serving his first term in North
Carolina general assembly, Repre-
sentative Ted Ray Of Henderson
Vile, Henderson county, took an
active part in the deliberations of
the house and soon became one
Of it's outstanding members, eSpe-
cially with regard to legislation
affecting the schools Of the state
or having to do with textbooks.
As a member of the house COM
mittee on education, Representa-
tive Ray took a great. deal of in
tcrest in the many different bills
referred to this committee.
The first big house battle IN
which Representative Ray took
part was that over the two bills
designed to change the method
Of selecting and adopting text
books in the state, and in which
he supported the Martin textbook
bill, written by Representative
Martin of BuncOmbe county. The
house, after long and bitter
battle. finally adopted the Cam
eron-ThompsOn textbook bill !,
which would have made some
radical changes in the present
methods o. adopting and select
ing textbooks. The senate, how
ever, later adopted the Martin
bill which the house eventually
accepted.
Representative Ray also took
an active part in framing the
Aycock school machinery bill and
which was reported to the house
by. its committee on education.
This bill was never considered by
the house. however, which took
up the Griffin senate school ma
chinery bill instead, finally pass
ing it. Ray, together with Ay-
cock of Wake, and several 9TH
ers, made repeated efforts to
amend the Griffin senate bill
more to their liking and to the
liking of the school forces. But
the house passed the bill in much
the same form as it was passed
by the senate.
Ray came down from the noun
tains of Western North Carolina
and saw the following measures,
introduced by himself, enacted
into law:
H. B. 274. An act to extend
the time for payment of water
and sewer assessments due the
board Of water commissioners of
Hendersonville. This bill provid-
es for the payment in annual in
stallments of water and sewer

WASHINGTON, May 10. (UP)
An attempt to stabilize currencies
of the great powers on a temper
airy basis in advance of the world
economic conference next month
is under way, the United Press
was Informed last night in diplo-
matte circles.
As a result of the Washington
economic conversations, officials
are hoping that the dollar, pound
and other monies can be temper
arily pegged before June IL,
opening date of the London con-
ference. Without this step, diplo-
mats feel that a discussion of tar
ifs at London would be difficult,
for many tariffs rise and fall with
exchange.
At the same time it was learned
that new grain conference is
being called for June 3 at Bucha-
rest where the small central Eu-
ropean powers will attempt to
agree on policies affecting the
price and production of wheat. as
we'll as tariffs and import quotas.

Spades; North (although he
held not a spade), 3-No Trumps,
ending bidding.
The day has passed when a
player will not open his long
suit because an opponent has
bid that suit before shifting to
no trumps. East led his @ of
spades. Dummy played low.
West started the ''plain suit
echo'', to show four of the suit,
by playing his 8. The j Of
spades followed. Again dummy
played low, and West completed
his echo, by playing his Z. When
the 10 of spades came it was
impossible for the declarer to
know which opponent held the
Ace, so dummy's K was played,
and VESTS Ace won.
Instead of returning the
spade. west made a short lead
of the 10 of clubs. Declarer's
j covered and lost the East's
Q. The latter player took one
Of his two good spades, then
he led the 9 of hearts, through
dummy's suit which the de-
clarer had failed to support.
The K won the first trick for
the declaring side, whereas the
defenders had won five tricks.
The top diamond was led from
dummy. West covered with the
8, and the declarer's j lost to
East's lone Ace. That player
led a heart. Dummy's Ace
won the trick, and the last
diamond in that hand en-
abled the declarer to win
the ninth and tenth tricks.
The declarer cleared his long
suit, by leading a diamond
which West won with his 10.
West took his good heart.
Then he led his last club, CIV
ing his partner the thirteenth
trick. All the declaring side
won were two heart tricks and
two diamond tricks, which put
them down five tricks un-
doubled, vulnerable. That cost
1000 points, which was double
the value it would have cost to
allow East and West to go game
at spades. The only reason
that the make was not doubled
was because East held a single
diamond, and he feared to drive
opponents into a declaration
that could not be so easily
beaten as the 3-No TrumpS.

WASHHNGTONFASHNONS By Wilma LauNe

Back to our crocheting in
cottons, after a week or so of
making paper hats, or Of vaca-
ton from making anything at
all. And I have an idea that
this little cotton crochet tur-
ban will be very popular, for
it's just the type that many
people have been asking for
instructions for making. It
may be worn with almost any
type Of summer dress, for made
of mercerized cotton, it goes
with fairly "dressy" frocks, Of
silk crepe or better cottons, yet
it will also do for Sport-like
costumes if you leave off the
flowers that band the crown.
Sports or Dress
This turban takes five balls
Of crochet cotton, size S, and
two balls Of size 80 for the
crocheted roses that trim it.
If you want it for a more
Sports-like hat, use instead Of
the flowers, a feather stuck
through the side, or a gros-
grain bow, in colors to match
your dresses. Or look at to-
morrow's picture, and see the
intriguing hat, made the same
way, and worn by one Of our
popular actresses.
An Easy Stitch
AS you can see, this turban
is made in a simple stitch, and
is very easy. It goes fast, and
first thing you know, you'll
have a pretty hat. White is
the best color Tor most of your
summer clothes, though pastels
will be sweet with certain
dresses that they go with espe-

Kidney Disease Always Demands
Special Care

Kidney Disease Always Demands
Special Care
Copyright, 1898, King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
The easiest way to divide
kidney diseases is into acute
and chronic groups. 1t should
not be assumed, however, that
any particular case is simple.
On the contrary, the internal
kidney structure is such a COM
plicated mechanism, anatomi-
cally speaking, and so intricate
is the chemistry involved that
converts the poisonous waste
products of the body into
urine, that every person with a
disorder of the kidney must
needs be studied, as an indi-
vidual, as well as most care
fully, and preferably over a
long period of time.
In acute kidney disease, often
spoken Of as Bright's Disease,
exposure to wet and cold may
be the immediate cause. This
is the kind of kidney upset that
may occur in the course of a
pregnancy. Certain other dis
eases, such as malaria, measles,
tonsilitiS, diphtheria, scarlet
fever, erysipelas and typhoid
may bring about a similar con-
dition.
In other cases Of acute onset
the cause is not so clear. Sud
den vomiting, pain in the back
and slight fever may appear in
an otherwise healthy individual.
These symptoms may yield to
treatment promptly, or they
may persist and finally become
chronic.
When the kidney disturbance
follows another disease there is
likely to be puffiness under the
eyes and swelling Of the ankles.
The patient may have difficulty
in breathing, and he may look,
as well as feel, sick.
In all cases where the kidney
upset persists, proper elimina-
ton is interfered with. 1t is
not surprising, therefore, that
serum may not only accumu-
late under the eyes and around
the ankles, but that a definite
dropSical state may develop in
the abdominal cavity and else
where, calling for the operation
known as tapping" so that ex-
cess fluid may be removed.
Chronic Bright'S Disease usu.
ally develops slowly. if it does
not result from a persistent
acute attack. In fact, the pa
tient himself may be unaware
Of his condition for months.
AS a rule, signs of failing
health are to be noted, such as
paleness of the skin, loss of
strength and the like. The
urine shows the presence of
albumin. Hardening of the
arteries may be an accompani-
ment of this disorder, as well
as a high blood pressure and

The Beauty
Box
By HELEN FOLLETT

There's an old saying to the
effect that money doesn't care
who has it. The girl who be-
lieves that a pot of gold ex-
changed for costly raiment is
all that she needs to make the
beauty grade is a girl whose
brain doesn't function as we'll
as it might. Lovely clothes are
nice to have, they make one
happy. But without good taste
they aren't so much. One
must know what to wear, how
to wear it, when to wear it.
It isn't the woman who spends
the most money who has a
knowledge Of line, an appre-
citation of color effects, and
the habit of carrying her body
beautifully and gracefully.

In a Car

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
i. When a lady and gentle
man are standing together on a
street car, is it proper for the
lady to hold to a strap or to the
gentleman's arm?
2. When a lady and gentle
man are in church together,
should the lady contribute to
the collection or does the gentle
mans contribution suffice for
them both?
3. When a gentleman is a
guest at a dinner where should
he be seated? G.
/. It is better, if she can, for
her to play the role of clinging
vine to her own strap.
2. And this, too, calls for in
dependence. This contribution
stands for her personal generos-
ity, and it is so personal-or
should be-that no one else can
or should be allowed to make it
for her. If anyone makes this
contribution for us, it is still
the other persons contribution,
not ours. In such contributions
we cannot shift the spiritual or
financial responsibility.
3. The gentleman, if he is the
only male guest, or if he is to
be given the honor place, should
be assigned the place on the
right of the hostess.
