some congressman won't believe

But the latest circus of the sort

olo Red Scare isn't the suTo-f-e

Even the old reliable D. a r.

Chairman Mccormack Of Massa-

posed 10 be investigating Nazi as

Mccormack had just given the
Nazis a virtual immunity bath in
q public assurance that the Ger
man government had adopted a
new policy of non-interference in

THAT DOCTOR OF YOURS

The other day we stopped a good doctor of this
town and paid him five dollars on an account that
had long been due him. Hope may die if he
didn't look like he going to faint, or have a
stroke, or sumpin'. He, just stood there, and
gulped, and sputtered and suffered
What's the NATTER" we asked. Don't we owe
you this money!"
"Hell, yes!" he finally said. cit is not that you
owed it that the surprise; it is because you
paid itp
whats so surprising about that?" we asked.
Then he up and told us tale that makes the
newspaper mans story sound downright silly. He
said there are people in this town who have been
owing him doctor bills since Heck was pup. He
said that he had attended weddings of young wo-
men whom he had delivered into this world, and
whose adventure into life had not yet been paid
for. He said he had attended men who are now
old and account when, in the days of their use
fulness and affluence had sent for him at all times
of the night to cool their fevered brow from dance
and drink. He said .
But what's the use of repeating all he said, when
most of you know how long it has been since you
paid your doctors bill.
The poor old Devil of a doctor has to spend
money on Christmas things just like human be-
ing, and it might not be amiss for all of us to
pay dollar apiece on what we owe that faithful
old soul between now and Christmas Day-Ex-
change.

The men who bring low our

much to Ne in every way as our

WAMBOLDT'S OPINIONS AND

views of this newspaper. The question Ill
dictated a novel view of journalism 10
The Times-News The modern newspaper

honest newspaper ever tries to prevent any
IRRESPONSIBLE citizen from being heard on
= :, 8. INV s,1kSeckmThe columns of this news
~ fA1Yef siways open for discussion OF
pubic Mattnrs and issues and the greater
the diversity of opinions expressed the
greater the interest in such matter and It's
! probable helpfulnesS TO readers.
. As to- the articles of Mayor Wamboldt
it has never occurred to this newspaper to
object to his free expression of his opln-
ions; we don't believe we have the right
! to do that; but, of course, we could di'
continue the publishing of his articles If
we desired and believed there was any
reason for doing so. However, we do not
think differences of opinions would justify
us in throwing Mayor Wamboldt's articles
out of our columns. In fact, we think
Mayor Wamboldt's writings are of cOnsid-
erably more interest to readers because lie
does not always express views similar to
those held by The Times-News. If only
what The Times-NewS thinks and believes
was printed in these columns this news
paper would be far less interesting than
it is.
The Times-News has no quarrel with
any intelligent, honest citizen about his
views and opinions. We do not fall out
with people because they do not agree
with our opinions. We know that some
people are ignorant and others are venal
and that the opinions expressed by these
classes are based on these facts. We pity
the ignorant and condemn the venal and
certainly do not believe that the views Of
such people should be allowed to shape
and control the destinies of our country
but we do not condemn intelligent and
honest citizens who frankly and courte-
Ously give voice to their sincere convic-
tons about public matters.
The Times-News believes that Mayor
Wamboldt is an honest, sincere, inteli-
gent citizen, who is striving courageously
and unselfishly to serve his city and State.
Under no circumstances would The Times
News become angry or quarrel with the
Asheville executive because his opinions
do not agree with ours. This statement
does not mean, of course, that this news
paper may not at most any time take issue
with the views of Mayor Wamboldt and
have its say about matters in these col
umns. When it happens we hope that this
will be discussion or courteous argu-
ment-and We are certain it will be, be-
cause neither Mayor Wamboldt or The
Times-News are addicted to the bad habit
of quarreling.

that The Times-News is opposing the

cause this newspaper has not come to the
support of that proposal. The editor very
frankly informed this reader as to the said

Marco Polo had to say about the
hunting habits of Kublai Khan
The grand khan,' he declared,
"has many leopards and lynxes kept
for the purpose of chasing deer. He
also has many lions which seize bears,
wild oxen, stays and roebucks. It is
great sight, when the lion is let
loose, to watch the savage way In
which he speeds after an animal and
overtakes it.
"The grand khan has eagles, also,
which are trained to swoop down on
wolves. Such is their size and
strength that no wolf, however large,
can escape from their talons."
The eagle and wolf part of Marco
Polo's story is rather hard to believe.

longer time with the same amount of
hard wear. Then if you want to go
in for ultra smartness. $40, SIS and
on, will buy you bag that has every
thing in the superlative degree.
One of these smarter bags is a
very large one of beautifully
grained black leather giving the
effect of the tree-bark materials.
It is not only wide, but deep and
has a chain handle of enormous
dull silver finished links. The clasp
is one of those rolls that resemble
hpsticks with silver finished ends.
It is a perfectly stunning model.
You perhaps would not expect a
rather conservative looking bag of
alligator to be among those SO ex-
pensive, but this very beautiful piece
of shining leather with clear cut en-
velope lines is priced at $3.50. 1t
has a narrow, plain. dull silver
finished top frame with the interest
ing addition of a narrow metal rod
which may be extended upward an
inch to form handle when desired.
So here you have an envelope bag to
tuck under your arm when you wish,
and at the same time bag with
handle when you need it.
Although the heavier antelope
suedes are among the higher priced
bags, you couldn't help admiring the
black one at SO in envelope shape
with flap top and a nice fat handle
of wound silk cord fastened into
shiny black cups at the top Of the
bag. In fine grained leather in dull
finish is a bag with the top making
an inward curve with silver ball clasp
and heavy triple link handle.
One of the very new designs
brought out by man noted for
his smart bags is shaped like a
large oval with about an inch
thickness to accommodate the con-
tents. 1t is shown in several colorS
of mat calf and has small metal
clamps at intervals around the

THE threads of silver and gold
vending their way through every
thing in the fashion world that re-
lates to late afternoon and evening
have found their way into dressy
bags. These lovely accessories to the
more formal costume are being shown
in beautiful silk crepes in dark shades
and black with glints of metal threads
here and there and some show the
metallic threads in small checked and
plaided patterns. You would adore the
small brown silk crepe pouch bag
family plaided with gold and finished
at the top along the sides of the OPEN
ing with small dull gold leaves. This,
too, has its handle of narrow strips
of the material knotted at the center
Then there is a more tailored version
designed from the same material with
overlapping flaps at the top bound
with gold-f finished metal to match the
straight frame.
Pearls and marquisites are notice
able on many dressy bags. Crystal is
used for ornamental clasps to very
great extent on many types of bags
and is always effective.
Isn't it a satisfaction to start of
the season with a nice fresh new
handbag. and discard all the miscel-
laneous accumulation that has made
the old one bulge to twice its original
size?
