ness on the part of Times-News readers.
Something for subscribers to think about
is the large part that advertising has N
making the price of modern daily news
papers so low that almost every family can
afford to read a daily paper. The larger
part of every daily newspapers income Is
from advertising If newspapers printed
no advertising the cost to subscribers would
be raised to prohibitive figures. Every year
ly subscription to this newspaper the past
year cost more than SIS to produce anu
deliver to the customer. Compare the tlg-
ures with the price you paid for The Times
News and see if you can honestly conclude
that the price of the paper is too high. If
The Times-News carried no advertising,
subscribers would pay probably as much as
$25 year for the paper.
Subscribers and advertisers, by combln-
ing their patronage of daily papers have
made possible the modern newspaper. The
advertisers aid the subscribers to get
newspaper at a price they can afford to
pay and the subscribers afford the adver-
Users the reader audience in which the lat
ter are so vitality interested.
With circulation growing in very sat
isfactory way, and the expectation of bust
ness Improvement throughout this section,
The Times-News believes it can promise
both readers and advertisers better news
paper and a more effective advertising
medium from this time on.

GREEKS WEARING SHEEPSKINS

1t may be conceded instantly that our own
school teachers are in the midst of a frst-rate
emergency Consequently, the language in Senator
Georges bill appropriating $5O,OO0O0O "to be al
located according to emergency needs in the sew
eral states seems to have been chosen with an
eye to North Carolina, where teaching currently is
an underpaid' and crowded profession.
Doubtless we should be certain to receive a
share in any distribution of federal educational
funds but it occurs to us that we had best be eX-
ceedingly wary of Georgians bearing a gift. 1t is
proffered, we fear not primarily for the purpose
of coming to the rescue of North Carolina, which
has seen its duty to education and done it noby,
but of those other states which through inability
or dilatoriness or sheer indifference have permit
ted the emergency in their educational circles to
become more acute than possibly it needed to be-
come.
Despite the pleasure of contemplating in these
niggardly times any sort of handout, 1t may be
said coldbloodedly that those states which have
made an effort to keep their own fires burning are
now being asked to chop kindlin' for improvident
neighbors. And no matter how much more blessed
it may be to give than to receive, we should not
care for either generosity to be made compulsory
or blessedness Observation-Disclosures News.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
HARD TO KILL COMPETITION

Uncle Sam, under the stimulus of the New DEAL
grows more and more versatile. While he talks IN
terms of billions in financing relief, emergency
and public works projects, he is not too much oc-
cupied to take time off to chastise giant corpo-
ration for minor infraction of the NRA, states
the Rochester, N. Y, Herald.
Suit has been filed against the Standard Oil Co.,
of New Jersey by Secretary Ickes and Attorney
General Cummings for organizing a "Babe Ruth
Boys Club" and giving prizes to children as part
of an advertising plan. Setting the ponderous ma
chinery of the law in motion for such a purpose
seems a good deal like employing a trip-hammer
to crush fly.
We suspect also that the Department of Justice
is going to find itself with larger order on its
hands if it undertakes to suppress the energy Of
American business concerns and prevent them from
exercising their ingenuity in bidding for business.
The American business man has not been trained
in the art of sitting still and waiting for business
to come to him. He may admire the sentiment en-
bodied in the saying that if man build a better
mouse trap the world will beat path to his door,
but when it comes to meeting the pressure of COM
petition it is his instinct to place his confidence in
craftsmanship.
The National Recovery Administration is entitled
to credit for its efforts to abolish cutthroat corr
petition Within limits, however, it will have to
exercise forbearance and allow some latitude, or
it will either crush the spirit of enterprise swamp
the dockets of the federal courts.-The' Monroe
Enquirer.

Engineers Find Plan to

BOULDER DAM, Las Vegas,
New. Feb. 13.-UP).-Although
MANY innovations in engineering
and construction have been made
on the Boulder dam project, bu-
reau of reclamation officials say
the scheme of artifically disslpat,,
ing the chemical heat generated
by the setting of the 3,O26,oOo
cubic yards Of concrete IN the
dam structure tops them all.
Experts agree that without ar
tificial cooling it would require
100 years for the mass of con-
crete to reach the ultimate an
nual mean temperature. ,
To accomplish this artificial
cooling it was decided to pour
the concrete for the dam in sep,
arate blocks which could be keyed
together. Series of thermometers
were placed at various points
within the dam to record tenn
peratures inside the structure. ,
The concrete is being cooled
through system of one-lnch
tubes, placed in horizontal layers
five feet apart in the concrete
and through which refrigerated
water is circulated.
When the main structure OF
the dam is completed, there will
be approximately 100000 feet,

Observation-Disclosures you come
w to Washington, you'll find the
irst visible evidences of the New
Deal in your own hotel.
You'll be surprise d-if you
haven't been here this last year
20 find the manager happy, the
bellhops grinning, and a lot of
other people staying in the same
place. You even may have trouble
getting a room.
A year ago the Hobbies were de-
serted and the establishments were
broke. Since March 4 the New
Deal has been paying off hotel
mortgages all over town.
The big places have run almost
at capacity and sometimes were
rull.up in summer for the first time
on record.
Code business, federal disburse-
ments in dozens of directions, con-
facts and lobbying with new fed
eral agencies reaching into every
state, patronage, more national con-
ventions, curiosity-those are rea-
sons.
In the Hobbies you sense the new
spirit of things. Everyone seems
to lave feeling of going some
where.
The clack Of portable typewriters
echoes in the corridors, with the
clink of cocktail shakers. Many
rooms become impromptu offices.

an evil condition to exist in the

eminent that is organized and
maintained to combat evil and to
keep order.
l can sympathize with persons
who are reluctant to come for
ward and give testimony that
would be embarrassing to them
selves and injurious to others.
But without such cooperation,
the authorities desiring to give
the citizens good government
find themselves badly handicap
ped.
Here is another instance. Since
the entire purpose of the Civil
Works administration is to give
employment to the unemployed,
one rule is that no one may quit
a Job to get a job with the CWA.
Yet one firm | know that had had
three men quit their employ and
secure jobs in the CWA denied
the TACT When questioned by
CWA officials. The reason for
the denial, it was explained pri-
Vately, was that the member of
the firm questioned was tender
hearted and feared he might get
the three culplits into trouble.
They should have been got into
trouble. Thcv had doublc-crOssed
the government. The scheme they
had worked was a direct thrust
at the success Of the CWA which
is not set up for the purpose of
giving better jobs to those who
already have jobs, but to provide
work and wages for those who
have no employment that they
may obtain food, clothing, shelter
and medical services necessary to
very existence Of themselves and
their dependents.

saith unto them, believe ye that I am
able to do this? They said unto him,
Yea, Lord. Then touched he their

be it unto you. AnG their eyes were
opened, and Jesus straitly charged
them, saying, see that no man know
It," Matthew, x.27,30) The lesson

passage from the Christian Science
