Rotary, Nearing 18th Anniversary
Has Become A Power In the World
Through Vitalizing Of Its Ideals

later l wish to call this to mind
before beginning my remarks for
today.
Rotary began 20 years ago.
This century began "a years ago,
but as Paul Harris. the founder
of the movement, states in the
current issue of the Rotary Mag
azine, the year 1929 marked the
beginning of a new era, one of
advanced understanding, greater
consideration, forbearace, toler-
ance and kindness.
1t is unnecessary here to trace
the growth of Rotary in those 20
years. We are all familiar with
the fact that the movement has
grown from one club to thou
sands in II geographical divisions
of the world, and that its mem
bership is now in excess of 1bO,-
900. But it is significant to me
that Rotary should have begun in

Soviet May Cut
Down Industrial
Expansion Plans
Suggested in View Of "Ex-

Situations

MOSCOW, Feb. S.-UP):-
Growth of industrial expansion
under the second fiye-year plan
would be curtailed under pro-
posal made before the Soviet con-
gress yesterday b ythree commits
sars with the approval Of the Po-
litburo. g,
The yearly growth in industrial
production, under the proposal,
would be 16.5 per cent instead of
the 10 per cent originally plan
ned. The proposed reduction was
made by Gregory 'Ordjonikidse,
commissar for heavy industry;
Isidore Liubimov. commissar for
light industry, and A. Mikoyan,
commissar for supplies.
Premier Molotov. whose speech
before the party congress was
published yesterday, explained
that there is no question that the
Soviet Union would be unable to
carry out it's original schedule,
but that in view of the external
and internal" situations, the par
tv does not want to take on a task
that is too great. -

Lady Ashley And

LONDON, Feb. s. UP).-
While London society awaited in
dication whether Lady Ashley
and Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., in
tend to contest the divorce suit
brought by Lord Ashley against
his beautiful wife, Fairbanks de-
clined yesterday to make any
sort of a statement regarding the
case.
Neither Lady Ashley, the form
er Sylvia Hawkes.. nor Fairbanks
entered an appearance in the case
Yesterday. They have eight days
in which to make such an appear
ance and two weeks in which to
file an answer TO the allegations
of Lord Ashley.
Fairbanks declined to comment
because the case is now in the
hands of the courts, and anything
he might have to say would be
unethical.

SEE DELAY IN
NAMING new
POSTMASTER
Report Here Is Station Will
Fill Post Until Appoint
ment Made

By grapevine" today from
Washington came report that a
list of three candidates for the
postmastership. in Hendersonville
may not be certified by the civil
service commission for several
weeks yet, and that in the event
of such delay R. H. Station will be
continued in office until his per-
manent successor is named.
The report said the civil service
commission is behind in its GER
tifcations of candidates for post
mastership and other federal Of
fees. and that the Hendersonville
job will have to take it's turn de-
spite the fact that Mr.. Stations
term of office expires Feb. 10.
In connection with the report
it was said that a temporary APP
pointment will not be made, and,
if this indication is borne out,
Mr.. Station will of course continue
in office until Congressman Zebu-
lon Weaver recommends his sue
cessor and he is appointed by the
president.
Not long after the change of
administrations in Washington,
Mr.. Station advised Congressman
Weaver that he would relinquish
the office either before or at the
end of his term, according to the
wishes of the congressman, and
that he would do everything pos
sible to familiarize his successor
with the duties of the office. 1t Is
understood that Mr.. Weaver ap-
preciated this attitude and that it
may, have something to do with
his reported decision not to make
a recommendation for temporary
appointment even at the close of
Mr.. Stations tenure of office.
Three candidates who made the
highest grades in a civil service
test will be certified to Represent
tative Weaver, and from the three
he will select one for recommen-
dation for appointment. About a
dozen men are applicants for the
$4,000 position.

Unjushy in Many
Cases, Says Doctor
Spider Bite Once Found

dOn1iflaL Pain.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, November
15.-The appendix, often charged by
the average man with causing severe
abdominal pains, was absolved Of
much of the blame yesterday.
The tendency of the layrnan to
blame his appendix for his ills was
reported by DR.. Frank K. Boland of
Atlanta, Ga, in a paper prepared for
the Southern Medical Association
Convention.
DR.. Boland is president of the
Southern Surgical Association and
professor of clinical surgery at the
Emory University School of Medicine.
Dr. Boland's account of natures
deceptive work shows that, though the
symptoms may point to the appendix,
in many cases a study of the case
will acquit that much-discussed organ
One case cited by DR.. Boland was
that of colored truck driver bitten
by black widow spider.
One day the driver knocked a spider
off his shirt. He didn't think the
spider had bitten him, but it had.
Almost Immediately he began to have
severe pains in the abdomen. Signs
pointed to appendicitis, DR.. Boland
stated. No operation was performed
pending further study of the case
and the doctors finally found out about
the spider. The man was treated for
the spider bite and in q short time
was cured.

Danish COMMON
CONSTIPATION With
DELICIOUS CEREAL
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Brings
Relief

Look out for headaches, loss of
appetite and energy, sallow COM
plexions, sleeplessness. Frequently
these are warning signs of common
constipation. If neglected, your
health may be impaired.
Today, you can rid yourself of
common constipation by eating a
tempting cereal. Laboratory tests
show that Kellogg's ALL-BRAN fur
nishes "bulk" and vitamin B to aid
regular habits. ALL-BRAN is also
rich in iron for the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that found in leafy vegetables.
Within the body, it forms a soft
mass. Gently, this clears out the
intestinal wastes. How much bet
ter this is than taking patent
medicines!
Two tablespoonfuls of ALL-BRAN
daily will usually overcome most
types of common constipation.
Chronic cases, with each meal. If
seriously i'll, see your doctor. ALL
BRAN makes no claim to be "cure-
ALL"
Serve ALL-BRAN as a cereal, or
use in cooking. At all grocers. In
the red-and-green package. Made
by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
