FEMALE VISITOR is ROUGH IN cRITI-
cIsM OF MOUNTAINS AND PEOPLE

The Times-News has had several re-
quests from residents of this city and sec
ton asking that this newspaper answer
statements made in recent issue OF the
ASheville Citizen by visitor, female
visitor who trespassed on that newspapers
space to make an unfounded and contemp-
tible attack on this section and its people.
Since the article appeared in The Citizen
it has been answered by residents and Wis
itors in that city and county, and in very
satisfactory manner in every case.
tits the opinion of The, Times-News that
it is necessary to give very little attention
to such statements as that in the Asheville
. newspaper, coming from sources such as IS
indicated by the fact that the author OF
this SlanderouS attack on North Carolina
and its people is, as shown by the state
mentS made in her interview, bitter
ersenay of the Christian church.
= But. little. imagination is necessary 10
( svisuali3e ttfIe sort of person who would
Weonae to Asheviffe as visitor and then as
a parting criticism of the section and its
people, ask local newspaper to print
such statements as this interview con-
tanned; especially when that person opens
the discussion with an attack on North
Carolina because of failure to endorse re-
peal of the 18th Amendment and then
paints a picture of the people of this Sec
ton as norons, moonshiners and bootleg
gers, with sprinkling of ignorant ana
misguided ministers of the Gospel.
Over against the views Of this female
contributor to the columns of The Citizen
NAV be placed the opinions of hundreds OF
thousands of people from every section OF
the United States and every country on
the globe, who have visited Western North
Carolina, who have been fascinated with
the great beauty of this mountain country,
found much in the character of the people
to commend, and have given interviews,
written letters, newspaper articles and
books, praising the mountain country and
its people.
The Times-News is convinced that the
weight of the evidence is overwhelmingly
against the aforementioned critic; and that
her statements, far from showing her to be
travelled and intellectual person, place
upon her the stamp of a certain sort of
ignorance and provincialism which need
not be mentioned in the columns of this
newspaper.

HIS SECOND WIFE
-By WICKES WAMBOLDT-

the floor of the bath room, dead.
A pitiful person is an old man
who has lost his beloved wife. An
old woman without her mate
seems better able to meet the sit
uation. She is either more re-
sourceful, or she is Drawer, or
both.
| have known old widowers to
marry again most happily; but they
had studied their situations care
fully. AS rule, they married
women they had known for many
years and whom they guaged by
long acquaintance and not by a
false front put up for special
purpose. Almost invariably they
did not marry women so much
younger than they as to live in
different world.
My grandfather outlived his
wife but he, never remarked; he
lived contentedly with his children
who were devoted to him. They
surrounded his death-bed; and his
body was borne to the grave by
his sons.

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
By
Ike Walton, Redivivus

Brother Sumner Of Asheville,
saws it is a lot easier to criticize
OR be a reformer on the outside
than a performer on the inside,
or something of that sort. 1t sure
is. It's easier for me to write this
piece than for me to get folks to
act on it. You'll see what | mean
when | tell you that / want some
body to stop these DRINKS from
driving cars.
Now suppose l should try to do
some performing about it instead
of merely writing some reform
ing. I'd have to complain to the
mayor: then to the chief of po-
lice: then to the sheriff; then to
the Judge; then to the lawyers;
then to the politicians who pick
iuries; then to the governor, the
legislature. and finally to the
bootleggers.
Suppose I'd try to be even more
effective. l would park my car
at a wide and safe place; watch
for a suspect; follow him after
he passed; get pretext to stop
him and speak to him and smell
him and be ready to get the drop
ON him: and then maybe find he's
a country preacher hurrying to
his Saturday night prayer meet
ing. Even if l should find the
real thing, it would be some job
to get him pinched and a bigger
one to get him convicted and a
still bigger one to get him jailed.

When an old man loses his wife,
and has no children or other rel
atives with whom he can live or
cares to live, he has a serious
problem on his hands. A man ac-
customed to the society and min
istrations of a considerate wife is
like homeless dog without her.
The older he is, the more he needs
his mate and the harder to get one
whose life will click tremendously
with his.
1t is not the easiest thing in the
world to find a woman who will
marry an old man, love him UNI

she will. But thinking and saying
are often far removed from do
ing.
An aged widower is too likely
to be attracted by some woman
, young enough to be his daughter
or his granddaughter.
,, Such an alliance can scarcely
be called lottery; for in lottery
one has a chance Of success.
: One old man | knew married
girl who had done house work for
his wife. This girl had been very
respectful and Industrious. The
old man felt that she would serve
him well and faithfully. But as
soon as he married her, her entire
attitude changed toward himJShe
was then his equal. She refused to
take care of him. She insisted on
I taking position which she had
long wanted-that of lady of
leisure. She developed conven-
lent illnesses which required her
to lie around the house whenever
it suited her and to go away to
mountain and seaside resorts.
81 married her for somebody
to look after me in my declining
days." complained the old man bit
terly, yet not only have to look
after myself, but l have to wait
on her. too He often spokeN pa
thetically of the devoted wife who
had passed on.
Another well-to-do old man I
knew lived warily by himself for,
years. Then an attractive widow.
who had angled for him persist
emily, hooked him. To hear her
tell it, all she wanted out of life
was chance to make him happy.
She moved in with her seventeen
year-old daughter who insisted on
calling the old man by his first
name; and mother and daughter
proceeded to roll him high.
"She is the worst cook / ever
saw in my life," the old man con-
fided sadly to a friend. 81 have
indigestion all the time; and lndi-
gestion isn't good for heart dis
ease" The old man had the sus-
picion that his new mate was
keeping his stomach upset pur-
/ posely, that he might die off the
more quickly. Perhaps he was cor.
rect. He did not live long after
his second marriage; but it seem,
ed long. He was soon in bed and
remained there. AS he lay there,
weak and hopeless, the second
wife hammered on him necessarily
about his will until she got it fixed
up to suit her. She gave him not
as much care as she would have
given a pet rooster. One day when
she was downstairs and he was
upstairs, she heard something go
"blam." She said afterwards that
she thought nothing of it. But
when she got around to go up
stairs, she found the old man on

NE,A Service stafr Correspondent
WASHINGTON. The war be-
" tween men and women has
broken out again on this front. 1t
teeps Washington correspondents
in a constant fret.
Each Of the various newspaper
mems clubs has had the female
issue I'D in recent weeks. In past
years they've gradually been
forced to- recognize the existence
Of the other sex, but the girls
scored no gains in this winters
disputes.
Tie National Press Clubs first
big concession was installation OF
A ladies' dining room. quite sepa-
rate from the rest OF the club. for
which wives and other relatives
were given cards. Two oTganiza-
lions of newspaper women later
asked and received cards. But
the dear hearts were in for a
setback.
Suddenly, after repeal. aroc1
an insurgent movement of men,
bers to abolish that dining room.
Certain unchiyalrous gents de-
manded that the room be used
for bar. They presented the
familiar argument that the club
must be kept as sanctuary
where wives couldn't penetrate.
Their strength was so great at
the annual meeting and al spe-
cial meeting on the issue that the
ladies' dining room was cut in
half and the rest Of the space
used for a "taprOo m"-big
enough for a couple of tables.
The Newspaper Club, more
radical, fought over the question
of admitting women to member
ship. The proposal lost, two to
one. Again the champions of
woMan's equality bowed to those
who demanded a refuge from
home and freside.

THE PEACH CROP

According to the Kansas City Star the cold has
completely destroyed the peach CROP in large
part of the peach belt of Missouri In Jackson
county. where there are many orchards, the county
agent reports that he has not found one peach bud
that will produce fruit 1t is explained that zero
is the danger point for peach buds at this season,
and in much of the peach territory of the Middle
West the thermometer registered temperatures be-
low zero on several days during late February
Peach growers in this part of the country are
not in danger of midwinter cold. They fear the
frosts of late March and early April after the buds
have opened and the young fruit begins to form.
Missouri growers have suffered from the list OF
profitable crops in 1884. In South Carolina or
chardists hope to escape killing frosts. but several
weeks of uneasiness are ahead.-The Spartanburg
Herald.

Shingles.
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. D.

CHINGLES is an acute Inflammation
of the skin, which appears over
definite parts, following the nerve
which supplies each part of the skin.
The eruption consists OF groups of
vesicles-little blisters-on an in
famed skin surface. The severe pain
of this ailment usually, but not always,
grows less when the eruption has fully
developed
Shingles make up about / to per
cent of all skin ailments. The little
blisters come out in crops and are
scattered at irregular intervals along
the track Of the nerve. The full de-
velopment OF these crops takes about
a week. Some of the blisters dry up,
while others burst and the liquid
forms into yellowish or brownish
CruStS.
The eruption is usually on one side,
and while 1t may occur anywhere on
the body, most cases are found about
the chest and abdomen.
No cause has been found for this
ailment. Gases appear in Summer as
often as in Winter, although chill is
felt to be one cause. 1t is thought
that whatever causes neuritis-in-
1ammation Of the nerves-may also
cause shingles. Thus cold. injury,
poison or long continued irritation
may be a cause.
Practically every case Of shingles
clears up within three to six weeks,
whether or not treatment is given
Where there is severe pain, this, of
course, should be relieved, even to
using morphine If absolutely neces-
sary.
The pain has been likened by some
sufferers to "a red-hot iron drilling
into the flesh" Fortunately, one
attack is all any patient has to with
stand. A second attack is very rare.
The treatment consists of freedom
from worry, complete physical re-
taxation, small doses of calomel and
EPSON salts, light diet-soft- boiled
eggs, milk, chicken and fish-and the
use OF certain medicines internally and
pastes or ointments on the eruption.
The internal medicines are arsenic,
quinine, phenacetin. aspirin, camphor
and others given under the supervision
of physician.
The external or outside treatment
consists in trying to prevent the blis-
ters from bursting. Opening the blis-
ters is considered unwise, as it often
leaves an ugly scar.
One of the preparations used under
soft gauze is alcohol, which is covered
with oiled silk to prevent evaporation.
Lime water, black wash, carron oil or
lead water may also be used and
applied freely.

Sunshine

THAT sunshine" lamps are help
full to youngsters in preventing
rickets has been well demonstrated.
Also that cod liver oil Is really
bottled sunshine" Is now admitted.
Rickets is a disease in which the
mineral building of the body is dis
turbed, so that there is not enough
lime to stiffen the bones properly,
thus causing bow legs, knock knees,
pigeon chest and spinal curvature.
However, II youngsters could get
more actual sunshine, because lamps
are not always available. there would
not only be freedom from rickets but
better growth and development.
A most convincing demonstration
of what sunshine can actually ac-
complish is given by Doctors Martha
M. Eliot and Edith B. jackson in the
American Journal of Diseases OF Chill
dren. 1t Is called Bone Develop
ment of Infants and Young Children
in Puerto Rico" Rickets is un-
doubtedly a rare disease in that land
OF intense sunlight.
The study included 900 Puerto Rico
children from month to about 3
years of age The observations were
made in a thorough going manner
and included X-ray appearances of
the bones and study Of the COM
position of the blood.
Only five cases of rickets were
T.
month-old infant that had lived all
his life in stone cellar, lighted only
with electric light, and another,
case of healed rickets that had de-
veloped when the child lived in New
York City.
The Puerto Rico climate has not
only intense sunlight, but is available
during the whole year.
In the northern part Of the United
States and in Canada there are not
only fewer hours of sunlight, but the
long, cold season reduces the oppor-
tunity for getting the benefit OF the
sunlight for four or five months of
the year, and the intensity Is also less
during cold weather.
Doctors Eliot and Jackson state that
il one takes into consideration the
uniform warm climate, the intensity
of sunlight, the fact that the sun
shines for many hours daily through
out the year, and the outdoor habits
of the people, it is easily understood
why the children Of Puerto Rico are
free from rickets.
However, as parents can't take
their children to Puerto Rico or to
other sunshine cities" the next best
is the use of sunshine foods" and cod
liver oil. The sunshine foods, which
help to make up for lack Of sunshine,
are butter, egg yolk. whole milk. green
vegetables and liver.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS
Radio Personalities.

THE popular notion is that one can
= not judge the personality Of an
unknown radio speaker. Broadcasting
officials, however, maintain that a
radio speakers voice does reflect per-
sonality. One goes so far as to say
that the average radio speaker cannot,
even by affectation. conceal his real
personality. This difference in opinion
has reused many questions. And as
usual, scientific men have set the stage
for an answer.
Can you guess the age Of the
speaker? Can you estimate his height?
Can you describe his complexion? Can
you guess his vocation? Can you say
whether or not he is sociable? These
are few of the traits that have been
studied. Carefully planned expert
mental investigation shows:
/. That most persons get the same
general notion of a radio personality.
2. That while radio audience will
agree, the things agreed to are gen.
orally inaccurate.
3. That 1t is next to impossible to
guess correctly concerning a single
personality trait.
