BANNER MONTH FOR DRUNKEN DRIVERS

April turns out to have been the banner month
in North Carolina in the matter of drunken driv-
ers arrested.
Clearly more drivers in this condition were on
the highways or the state constabulary became
suddenly more alert and determined to interfere
with this pregnant evil on the highways
If this latter Is the explanation, it is heart,

Too much indifference and leniency toward
drivers ncapacitated by drink have been exhibit
ed That is true not only of the state patrolmen,
but of all law-enforeing brigades in North Caro-
lima.
Considering the number of deaths on the roads

therefore, unfit to be at the steering wheel, this
violation calls for concentrated effort on the part
of officers and it, also, calls for more drastic pun

breaking it up.-Charlotte Observer.

THE TAx-ExEMpTtoN FALLAcY

The surest way to achieve tax reduction would
be to spread the burden evenly, based on the ca
paeity to pay-without exemptions.
Tax exemption for persoas with incomes in the
lower brackets has long fooled a substantial part
Of the public into believing it is not taxed at all
!. No idea, no belief, could be less justified
The great part of the cost Of goverrment-fed-
eraf state, county and municipal-is paid by the
people who think they are tax-exemEt. Instead OF
paying their money direct to the tax collector
Office they pay it indirectly in highe- rents, more
expensive food, clothing and entertainment and
everything else That big business which is 80
highly taxed. simply acts as the middieman-
10 collects money from you and passes it on 10
government.
Today, the tax problem is intensely personal
issue TO every American. :. It is going to become
a bigger problem every year until the millions of
wage earners realize how vital its solution is tn
their well-being and their futurs,-Taylor County

WTASHISGTON. The first big

found in Missouri, now that eX-
Senator James A. Reed is going 10
seek nomination and election again.
Reed is first Of the once impor-

Senator Carter Glass, John ".
Davis, and Governor Ely of Massa-
ChuSetts.
Reports differ as to the chances
that the baleful. white-haired ~
year-old war horse has for a
comeback. Reed has always been
closely associated with Boss Tom
Pendergast'S powerful machine in
Kansas City and retains a popu-
lar following through the state.

ABOVE OUR CONFUSION A DREAM
ARISES
(BY BRUCE CATTON)

When the history of these times gets
written, it is probable that the last couple
of years will seem lot less confusing
than they look just now.
Sometimes it seems that our chief d.
version of late has been to run around III
circles We have fondly announced that We
have come to the end of an era" but We
haven't made any very clear forecast of
what the next era is going to be like, and
we have put in a lot of time gazing fondly
back on the high old days of the 'twenties.
But once we get far enough off to get
decent perspective, it is likely that the
present moment will look more like mo-
mentary halt, breathing place between
two great adventures, than a time of be-
wilderment and chaos.
Our iirst great adventure had to do with
the exploitation of the physical resources
of a continent. An incredibly rich land
was thrown open to human occupation,
and all the old rules were abolished. One
man was as good as the next one, and the
prizes could be won only by the doors.
And this adventure-for all its waste,
its brutality, its injustices and its greed
brought great human values. 1t did set
many men free, it did nourish a sturdy
spirit of self-reliance and determination, It
did make happiness possible for many peo-
pie who would not have been happy other
wise.
The depression that began with the 1879
crash put an end to this advepture-or, to
be exact, to one phase of it. The get-rich-
quick era was worked out; the continent
was filed up, the period when free-and-
easy exploitation was desirable had ended.
The job remaining to be done was just
as big as ever, but the method of doing it
had changed.
b. SAll that is happening to us right Row is
THAT we are fumbling around for the new
method of doing the job. We have plenty
of work ahead of us-enough to keep US
busy for century. The continent is as
rich as ever, the people are as energetic
and as determined as ever.
The great American dream-that in this
aand men shall be freer and happier than
tthey have been elsewhere-is still as pos
,sible of realization as it ever was.
Beneath the seeming confusion of today
lis rising determination that we shall ge
forward and help make the dream come
true.

OLD MEN, Alloy!
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

put things over.
Old men need young men, and
Young men need old men. Old
men are cautious ard the world
needs caution. Young men are
confident and the world needs
confidence. But too much caution
is bad, and too much confidence
is serious.
Old men hesitate to make radi-
cal changes. Young men are eager
to make radical changes. 1t is well
that those in authority should al
ways hesitate to make radical
changes, and should make them
slowly, for experience has shown
us it is difficult TO develop a con-
dition that works even passably
well. When such state has been
reached, it should be modified o"
discarded only with extreme care
and after deliberate thought. If
most old men had their way, there
would be no changes, and if most
young men had their way, every
thing would be changed.
SO with the young men urging
a reconstruction of everything
and with the old men counciling
"move slowly and painstakingly,"
we are saved many q wreck.
The man who has been through
the mill has much to tell for he
knows. The man who has been
through life, knows life. His eye
may have lost its sparkle. he may
not have the zest for adventure,
but he knows a thing or two and
he should be able to impart his
knowledge to those whose eyes
are filed with sparkle and whose
souls long for adventure.
Make haste slowly across the
ford with which yoI are unfa-
miliar, and remember that che
knows the water best who has
waded through it."

INFANTILE PARALYSIS

Acute epidemic polio-myelitis
Chats what the doctors call in
fantilc paralysis may be a great
tragedy-Or it may pass without
doing anything more serious than
frightening parents almost to
death. For infantile paralysis
frequently leaves no permanent
effects at all,-except the merci-
full immunity that even the light
est attack seems to confer upon
the one who has been subjected
to it.
Sometimes minor paralysis re-
main, sometimes major ones,
which may be very terrible in
the extent to which they can han
dicap the victim. But treatment,
conscientiously persisted in, can
accomplish seeming miracles, even
with those who have been seri-
ously damaged; and though we
know so little about the treat
ment of the attacks, we know a
great deal about how tC mini
mize the results that follow it.
Unfortunately we have not yet
learned the lessons that are every
whit as important, if the child
who is a victim TO infantile pa
ralysis is not to become even
more crippled by tae mistaken
kindness and sentimental tender
ness of his parents. The psychic
or emotional side of his treat
ment must be taken Just us seri-
ously and carried out Just as con-
sciously as the physical.
Fortunate indeed is The young
ster whose parents refuse TO al
low him to be emotionally men
tally crippled by having too much
done for him. Self-rcliance is
far more important for him than
/ it is for the boy who has the use
of ali of his muscles. Let's not
handicap him by our mistaken
kindness.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

using half the dose of this to
make him sleep in the daytime.
Would you advise this?
ANSWER: I certainly should
not. Some children just will not
sleep in the daytime. In such
cases. it is best to institute an
early hour for bedtime, trying
once in a while TO see whether
the daytime nap cannot be re-
established. | should be very
wary Of giving any sleeping med
icine. except strictly in accord

not expect them to become full

their chronological years.
You are starting on your son a
little late, but for his own sake, as
we'll as your own, you would do well
to stick to your guns. The young
couple must be compelled to take
the consequences Of their own acts.
1t is generous of you to help them
make a success of their premature
marriage, but you can not do so
by relieving them Of too many OF
their responsibilities.
1 see no reason why the young
wife should feel free to invite guests
to your dinner table. She has to
realize that she is no longer privi-
legged daughter, supported by her
father, but a wife whose husband
must provide her pleasures. If he
can not do so, then she must do
without. Criticism Of the home
which so kindly added her to its
burdens and feeds her from its
slender stores is decidedly out OF
place.
Dear Jane Jordan-I have girl
trouble. Up until now I have
been very satisfied with myself.
I am not of the nature that de-
mands company, male or female.
I've kept to myself a great deal
and therefore am lacking in So
cial ease to a marked extent. But
now I've met a girl whom I like
very much.
After remarking that it will
probably not rain four or five
times it becomes rather boring.
What are girls in general inter-
ested in? My interests lie in box
ing, horses and diamond mining.
You could not expect a girl to be
interested in these things. would
be most grateful for any hints of
the right method of attack.
THANK YOU.
AnSwer-GirlS in general are in
terested in love and marriage and
personalities. But you want to study
a particular girl. Ask her what she
does with herself all day, what she
reads. what her pet opinions are and
so on until you get a line on her
interests. II you care enough for
her to make her interests yours, you
will have something to build on.
Take her to a thought provoking
show and discuss it with her after
ward. All girls are interested in
movies. Read some of the screen
magazines and tell her the latest
gossip about her favorite star. The
news of the day is pretty exciting
just now. If she isn't interested in
what's going on, see if you can't
stimulate her curiosity a little by
your own comments.
