The Governors Talk
Here Is Part of What He Said to
the North Carolina Club

For lack of space zoe had to
| omit last tceek this part of the
Governors talk to tie North
Carolina Club.)
The Governor said that the
average citizen was keenly
aware Of the taxes laid by the
state but did net realize so
clearly the extent of the burden
Of federal taxation. THE fed
eral bonded Indebtedness, as it
will soon stand" he said, will
call for levies to a total of 800
million dollars for carrying
charges. Since this state con-
tributes about 8 per cent of the
federal taxes, that means Cd
million from North Carolina.
That is twice as much as it
costs to run our state govern
ment."
The spotlight of public atten-
tion had been on the state gov
ernment in recent years, said
| the Governor. He thought that
soon it would be turned on the
local governments.
"A large share of the burden
of local government has been
taken over by the state. The
state has assumed the cost of
building and maintaining the
roads and the cost of operat-
ing the schools, the two activ-
tiles which formerly constitut-
ed the heaviest obligations Of
the counties. Today debt ser
vice is the largest element in
the cost of local government. ="
A year ago 40 counties and
1872 municipalities in North Car
Dina were in default on their
| debts, and by December the toll
had risen to SO counties and 134
municipalities. Manifestly, in
the face of such a situation, the
local governments could not con-
tinue to support their schools.
Unless the state had assumed
the support, inevitably the
schools would have had to be
closed last fall
The Governor mentioned ex-
treme cases Of county and mu-
lnicipal debt. In one county, for
lexample, the debt amounts to a
third of the total valuation of
all property. In one city a tax
rate Of between SIS and Sc per
800 of valuation would be re-
quired to meet debt service OBJ
legations. It is certain that some
of the county and municipal gov
ernments have got themselves so
deeply into debt that they will
never be able to pay their cred
itors hundred cents on the dol
lar.
"One of the most important
branches of our state govern
ment,", said the Governor, "is
the local government commits
sion. 1t stands ready to assist
counties, cities, and towns, in
working out solutions of their
financial difficulties. There are
governmental units, which, if
they will take advantage of the
good offices Of the commission,
can arrange for refunding their
debts so that instaIlments may
be strung out over a long period ;
also, in many cases, the rate of
interest may be reduced. The
commission aids in bringing

Toy Dogs Have
Following
Rv LIZ HUME

Toy and lap dogs have their
staunch admirers and in this
day of apartment house dwell
ing they are ideally adapted
to fill the role as pets.
The Papillon is a breed which
We seem to have overlooked.
Sometimes referred to as the
squirrel spaniel, the Papillon is
not, however, any more of a
spaniel than is the Pekingese,
and one of the countless stories
in regard to its descent is that
it's ancestors were tiny silky
haired lap dogs which the
Spaniards brought over from
Mexico in the sixteenth cen
tury.
This breed is undoubtedly a
very old one, as dogs of similar
type are seen in portraits in
Spanish galleries as well as in
paintings by Watteau, Fragon-
ard, and Boucher. The name is
evidently derived from its ears,
which stand erect like the wings
of the butterfly.
There is another variety with
drop ears. The fact that the
tail is long and buShy and car
ried over the back like a squir-
rel, is the reason that the name
Squirrel Spaniel" is some
times applied to them.
The Papillon is a very lively
little dog, with an abundant
coat of long, silky hair. The
head is small. the skull slightly
domed and the muzzle rather
snippy. About the face and
on the front of the legs the
coat is rather short; the eyes
are dark, round and set some
what low; the expression is
alert and intelligent; the back
is straight and rather short.
The average height is about
nine inches weight from
five to eight pounds. In color
they are ruby, red mahogany,
reddish chestnut, dark, yellow,
or white with these patches.

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
Gift to Business Man

NA1G W DuSAHCSS WxhA
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have made the acquain.
tance of a very particular friend
within the past year; one who
takes a very active interest in
me and in my work. To show
appreciation, would it be quite
correct for me to remember
him at Christmas with some
small impersonal gift? If so,
what would you suggest?
It seems rather hard to de-
eide on any one thing, for
nothing seems to lack in his
well appointed office. Reading
matter would be quite useless
since his work gives little time
except for books dealing with
his particular work, and Of
these he already has a com.
plete library. P.
In spite of the fact that this
man has little time for read
ing, I still think that a well.
chosen book would, under the
circumstances, be the most ap-
propriate gift to send him. A
biography would be in excel
lent taste, and you would un-
doubtedly be able to find one
that would be of special inter-
est to him along the lines Of
his profession or business.

A Woman Walking


A woman walking down q sun
drenched road.
A little child clasped closely to
her breast;
She marches by, unheedtuI OF

With splendid strength that
needs no pause, no rest.

and more.
I see a mother, pressing on to
meet
Whatever future days may hold
in store,
One poised for victory or for de-

No football hesitant, no back

But with her brow as shining as

I watch her tireless tread, her

Almost as though her burden

Deserted by Wife

When I returned from my
work the other night, I found a
note from my wife saying she
was sick and tired of drudgery,
and that she had gone away. I
can understand how she might
have been tired of me, because
I couldn't give her much, but I
don't see how she could have
packed up and quit our little
boy, who is only 2 years old.
It was a mercy from heaven
that nothing happened to him
locked in the apartment, be-
cause he is fond of fooling with
the gas stove and getting into
mischief. But there he was safe
and sound asleep by his little
crib when I found him.
The neighbors have been very
kind, and have fed and cared
for him in the hope that his
mother would return. But as
she has been gone for three
weeks, and I've heard nothing,
I must make some arrangement
for the little boy. What would
you suggest? DESERTED.
Would the good neighbor who
has been looking out for your
little son consent to take him
for a reasonable price. That
would be the ideal arrangement,
as he would have personal care,
and you could see him oftener
than if he were placed in an
institution.
If this can1.ot be arranged, the
next best thing is to see if you
could maxi some arrangement
through your church connec-
tions, if you have any. The

Bath Ensembles
CaDtiVate
BY Juliet Shelby

There has been q widespread
revival Of the old-fashioned gar
den floral Scents-honeySuckle,
rose, lilac-in various feminine
toiletrieS. It seems that women
are reverting to the more nat
ural feminine types and are ig-
noring the sophisticated and
blaSe scents.
This is particularly evident in
the new bath aids. There are
dusting powders, bath salts,
soaps and talcumS, all display
ing pictures Of the flower from
which their perfume has been
extracted. So it is up to you to
discover your friends favorite
flower and then ship her a bath
luxury of that fragrance.
A very impressive gift for very
little money is q bath set of tai.
cum powder, busting powder and
bath scent, all prettily encased
in these new floral boxes.
They will remind you of your
mothers room when you were
q tiny tot, or the guest room
on the old farmland that is
their charm! I selected the
honeySuckle set, with its gay
yellow flowers on a white. back
ground, and if I still have it to
give at Christmas time, I'll be
surprised. More than one dear
lady has fingered it Lovingly.
Floral scents are refreshing
and usually sufficiently neutral
not to conflict with your favor
ite perfume. There are five fra
grances from which to choose,
and the powders are Of particu-
larly nice quality for the price

which will make an acceptable
gift for any woman who goes
in for the smarter side of en-
tertaining. And all the sophis-
ticates are using wooden bowls
for salads. You can either buy
them in a "set," bowl mounted
in metal so it won't tip over
and spoon and fork to go with
it, or you can buy plain hard
wood bowl in the home furnish
ings department of any good
store, and select a nice spoon
and fork of olivewood to go
in the bowl.
A cunning bread board with
knife is a good gift for a bride
or girl with her first apart
ment, and a swizzle stick and
muddler are fine gifts for
bachelor with his first apart
ment. A plank for steaks is
another good gift for the man
who loves to cook, and many
Of them do these days.
Many Woods Used
The woods themselves are a
study, for you will find that
different woods are used for
most Of the articles. Olivewood
for salad bowls seems best,
though lockwood is good too.
And maple can be used if it is
hard and polished enough.
Maple makes chopping bowls
too.
Holly wood m keS such
things as rolling pins and
steak malletS. Boxwood makes
mixing spoons, and so does
olive wood. Dinner plates and
salad plates may be made Of
wood too, but are hard to find
in Washington. A good Selec-
ton of bowls and spoons may
be had almost anywhere, how.
ever.
For a Child
Here's an idea for that preco-
cious child that you have been
worrying about, or the child that
has everything. If they are of
reading age, give them a set of
book plates for their books.
One of the stores has a mar
velous line of book plates for
children, with designs repre-
senting all the well-known nur.

subjects. There are some for
