Interesting news that Colonel
Lindbergh nay travel to Eng
land on a sing1Hariy. URxopriate
errand Of good will. He may
go, indeed, to request a noted
British museum to relinquiSh
the historic bi-plane in which
the Wright brothers made their
first flight.
A series Of misunderstanding,
with perhaps a little temper in
volved, diverted that famous
contraption Of lath and canvas
from the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, where it so naturally be-
longs, to the Science Museum in
London.
Col. Lindbergh
It is scarcely possible to i'm
agine any other than a favor
able result if Colonel Lindbergh
accepts the mission. It would
be, indeed, a gallant salute on
his part to the man and to the
exploit that made his own fame
possible. Only a little while ago,
completing his remarkable 29,-
000-mile air event, he dipped a
wing Of his own plane over the
patch Of sand where man freed
himself from the clutch of the
earth-just 80 years ago.
Two serious young men from
Dayton, Ohio, stood on Kill
Devil Hill on chill and cheer
less day. The wind was whip
ping the surface Of Albemarle
Sound, and the whitecaps were
flashing far out in the troubled
blue. Tie sky was overcast,
leaden sullen. A more melan-
choly morning could scarcely
have been plucked from the cal
endar.
On the hilltop, a hundred
feet above the beach and the
blue water, stood the two young
men from Dayton, and near by,
silent, sometimes grinning a
little, as if they were bursting
with a good joke which man
ners forbade them to come
right out with, were five Kitty
Hawkers, all of the towns pop
ulation who had enough Curl
osity to walk to the hilltop.
They turned their gaze, these
amused Kitty Hawkers, from
Wilbur and Orville Wright
to the strange contraption with
which the brothers were fussing
and fiddling, something like a
piano crate with a cookstove
clamped on its back.
Gail right, Orville?" said
Wilbur Wright. "Any time,"
said Orville. He climbed into
the weird machine, stretched
himself face downward on the
lower wing panel and turned
on the power. The Kitty Hawk
scudded down its monorail, rose
into the air to the height of 10
feet, held that height for 100
feet and glided gently to the
sands. Back they dragged their

It is not the danger and
hardship of the act itself that
keeps most of us from embark
ing on new and noble adven-
lures. IT'S THE FEAR OF
BEING Misunderstood.
LAUGHED AT. CRITICIZED
.. .SNUBBED.
Human beings are gregariouS
animals. We like to live with
the herd, think with the herd,
be in right with the herd.
We can stand starvation
and disease easier than we can
stand unpopularity or ostra-
cism. And ostracism is not
merely a sentimental handicap
=. it is a very real danger. Un-
popularity can wreck our bust"
ness and our reputation.
The old saying, "Sticks and
stones may break my bones, but
words will never hurt me- is
NOT TRUE. Words CAN hurt
us terribly. They can do IRE
parable harm.
And nothing will arouse the
vicious criticism Of the herd
as surely as DOING SOME
THING DIFFERENT. The thing
you are about to do may be
a brave and honorable act. >.
it may be the only thing you
CAN DO to keep your self
respect. but these arguments
do not count with the herd.
IF IT'S DIFFERENT, IT'S
DAMNED.
It's damned because the herd
is afraid of things that are
different. Things that are diff
ferent are apt to be dangerous
to the herd. They make
things difficult for lazy people
and cowardly people. They
upset the existing order. It
has taken a long time to es-
tablish that existing order.
to get things sitting pretty.
Naturally, the herd resentS any
interference with its comfort.
You can commit no greater
crime than to set up new and
disturbing standards of con-
duct. to be different.
Christ was crucified, and
Socrates given the hemlock,
not because they advocated
new radical PHILOSOPHERS. The
public knew nothing of their
PHILOSOPHERS and cared less.
But they did know that they
were Different. and different
people got their collective goat.

BRAIN-FAG
BY Robert BenchleY

It has been figured out by
somebody who likes to figure
out things that students in in
stitutions for the feeble-minded
die much earlier than people on
the outside. This is because,
according to the figurer-out.
their brains do not function nor
mally.
Several feeble-minded people
have disputed this, claiming
that their brains are the only
ones which do function nor
mally, and have no way Of
proving that they are wrong,
except that they are in the min

ority. I also have no way Of
proving that they are in the
minority.
But the point seems to be that
it is all a question of using up
energy, and that IDIOTS use it up
quicker than anybody else
idiots and people who run
around the reservoir every

person starts thinking, he goes
at it hammer and tongs, and

RETAIL TRADE
IN STATE HAS
81 PCT. RISE
Figures Are for First Five
Months; Better Than in
Virginia, Also
The Tiines-News Bureau
Sir Winter Hotel

RALEIGH, June lS.-Retail
business in North Carolina was
3O.2 per cent better during the
first FIVE months of 1884 than
during the corresponding five
months of 1888, according to the
figures just released by the Fed
eral Reserve Bank in Richmond
for the Fifth Federal Reserve dis
trict, while retail business in Vir-
ginia for the same five months
showed an increase of only 22.S
per cent over last year, Harry
Nc Mullan, director of the assess
mentS division of the state de-
partment of revenue pointed out
today. These figures were not re-
leased by the Federal Reserve
bank until June ~, Mr.. McMul-
Ian pointed out.
The retail business increase for
the entire United States for the
first FIVE months of this year was
only 20 per cent over the same
FIVE months of last year, the re-
port shows, so that the gain IN
retail business here in North Car
DINA is 1912 ahead of that for
the entire nation and IA ahead
of the retail business gain in
Virginia.
These Federal Reserve figures
also show that the retail business
gain for the hrst FIVE months Of
this year in the leading Virginia
cities was less than the gain for
North Carolina. The gain in Nor
folk was only 14.9 per cent over
the corresponding five months last
year: in Lynchburg only 1872 per
cent better than last year, and IN
Richmond the gain was 23.4 per
cent.
These Federal Reserve figures
do not seem to bear out the con-
tention of many of the merchants
in North Carolina to the effect
that the state 8 per cent sales tax
would ruin retail business in this
state and drive it into Virginia"
MCMILLAN said. For these fig-
ures show that retail business has
increased 30.2 per cent IN this
state the first five months of this
year as compared with gain Of
only 22.S per cent in Virginia for
the same period. Either the North
Carolina Merchants association or
the Federal Reserve bank must
be wrong"
