WARM WEATHER SEASON THE MEAL MAY BE BUILT AROUND THE

away from life.
You run away into movies
and beauty shops now, Ellen.
instead Of into fairy tales. You
have play games with bridge
scores instead Of doll dishes.
And you've q inake-believe
world, too, Bill. A make believe
world Of business and sport. It
all sounds very mature; you
honestly believe that you've be-
come a rough, tough, two-fiSted
guy. But it isn't, and you
haven't. Inside, you're still Q
half.baked kid with as many
fears as you had at thirteen.
with as many things that get
your goat.
Once you both ran away from
the real world of Doing Dishes
and Hoeing Weeds. Now you're
both running away from the
real world Of hunger and hate
which clamors all around you.
You don't want to think about
that world. You refuse to be
responsible for it. You're afraid
to touch it, afraid even to admit
that it exists.
So you take refuge in your
Nice Little Business. Or your
Lovely Little Home. Or Travel.
Or Society. You exchange beauty
creams, or stock market tips, as
once you exchanged glass beads
and fish bait.
Or perhaps you retreat still
further. There were times, at
thirteen, when you wouldn't
play with the other kids; when
you'd go off alone by yourself
and NOPE, or dream, or Sniffle
with a self-pity.
And there are those who sur
render completely; who seek
oblivion in sickness, in drugs,
in insanity or suicide.
But no matter how hard you
work or play or dream in your
effort to escape reality, there
come times Of clutching terror.
You feel you're getting nothing
out of life. You're lonely, be-
wildered, blue - disguised with
everything and everybody. Dis
gusted, most of all, with your
self.
And these are actually your
healthieSt moments. For in these
moments you feel life rebelling
at your cowardice; urging YOU
to forget yourself and your
petty interests and take part in
the world around you, chauenH-
ing you to grow up!

Even though a change of skin
tone is entirely optional this
summer, the demand for a good
tan face powder is greater than
ever.
This phenomenon is explained
by the growing popularity OF the
new suntan makeup prepara-
tions that give your skin rich
sun-kissed color without the
slightest effort on your part to
keep In the sun.
Life is more exciting with one
of these preparations at hand,
for you must admit that at the
times when you grow terribly
bored with yourself, a change OF
skin does heaps to make you
feel and look different!
One such preparation that has
recently made its debut is ap-
piled quickly and conveniently.
A light coating of it gives your
skin that cafe Gu lait shade that
seems to be favored this season.
In reality it is nothing more
than liquid powder Of an ochre
color, and there are those who
claim that it Is waterproof. I
can't vouch for that, but I do
know that it adhereS nicely to
the skin and covers slight blem-
ishes and discolorations and
does give your skin a rich even
tone.
I used it for a day and eve
ming without going near the
water, and was delighted with
it. Warm water and soap and
cleansing cream takes it off
and leaves you in your natural
state, unharmed.
There is a new tan face
powder made by the same cos
metician that blends perfectly
with the liquid makeup ana
has a nice clinging quality.
This lovely powder actually
melts right into the TNsin-tone
The Washington times., 1934-07-10

and is very flattering to skins
that are truly sun-kiSsed. You
don't get a dull, muddy effect
as you do with some tan pow
ders, because there Is enough
peach and pink powder blended
in to offset the tan.
Both Of these powders are
reasonably priced and are pre-
sented by a reliable cosmetician.
You may indulge in a tenn
nermental summer without fear
of injuring your skin.

stantly conscious of that
battle. When you were ABOUT
13, beginning to grow up, you
could actually feel the tug be-
tween those two desires. Part
of you wanted to get over be-
ing a baby and grow up
quickly. Wanted to go into life
and the risks and adventures
of life. Leave home. Leave
everybody you knew. Go out'
all alone.
But part Of you wanted, ter
ribly. to stay a baby. Do the
things you always had done:
love the same people; stay IN
the same places. Part Of you
shrank in terror from the
thought of growing up.
That is how you felt at 13.
And you think you've left that
part of you behind you. You're
SO now, or As or 63. You're

But you aren't. We never
quite free ourselves from that
13-year-old conflict. From the
cradle to the grave, life con-

PERVERTED S~PORTSMANSHIP

Sometimes we wonder whether
haven't let their sporting"
attitude toward everything warp
their judgment in such serious mat
tiers as crime and the pursuit of
criminals. The notion that the
fugitive from justice is entitled to
a sporting chance" that it is a
sort of a game between the officers
Of the law and the criminal, in
which everybody is entitled to take
the part of either side, accounts in
large measure, we think for the
maudlin sympathy often exhibited
toward offenders.
Boys are taught hat it is not
good sportsmanship to shoot birds
except on the wing. But certain
ly hat does not apply when the
quarry is not game" but vermin.
One is taking no unfair advantage
of a skunk to shoot it sitting, or
of a rat to entrap or poison it by
any means that can be devised.
We think a great deal Of good
would be accomplished if there
were some way to impress upon
young folk that fragrant violators
of the law, murderers, kidnappers
and robbers, are not game" but
vermin. The principle that every
criminal is entitled to a fair trial
has been warped by a sort of per-
verified craftsmanship into the feel
ing hat every criminal has a right
to his liberty as long as he is smart
enough to keep out Of the clutches
of the law, regardless of the means
he adopts, even killing, to evade his
pursuers.
We do not think that crime
will ever be we'll controlled 50 long
as criminals are made to feel that
they have any measure of public
sympathy back of them, or believe
that they are taking part in a sport
ing adventure.

Doughton Replies
To Publication OF
j. NJ. Prevette

Declaring hat the publication,
IAN Appeal to Reason" issued by
]. M. Prevette, in which it was
stated that Mr.. Doughton had eight
clerks in his office, was "mislead-
ing and made with the intention of
deceiving the voters" Congress
man R. L. Doughton, from this
district, in a letter to the press,
vigorously denies the false allega-
ton and sets forth the fact that he
has only two clerks in his office, as
allowed by law.
MI. Doughron, in his statement,
says that he has the same number
of clerks-two in number-in his
Ioffice as every other congressman
and that the clerks in the Ways and
Means Committee, of which he is
chairman, are the same in number
as those employed in former con-
crosses.
Mr.. Doughton's reply follows:
To The Editor,
Carolina Watchman,
Salisbury, N. c.
Dear Sir:
my attention has been called to
Ia certain article appearing in a pub
LEGATION entitled "An Appeal to
Reason" written by J. M. Prevette
in which the writer made a state
ment in reference to my office ex-
penses. My allowance for clerks
and office expenses is exactly the
same as every other Representative
in Congress which is two clerks
during any one month, whereas
the article stated l had eight clerks
in my employ per month. The
Committee clerks referred to are
the same as those under former
Congresses. The official records
will contradict this misleading
statement which was evidently
made with the intention of deceiv-
ing the voters. Other statements
contained in the publication are
about in line with the statement
about clerk hire. / feel that the
large number of voters reached by
your paper would be interested in
having the true facts in reference
to this matter"
With my best wishes, l am,
Very sincerely yous,
R. L. Doughton.

body, in or out of Government, has
yet put the finger upon the weak
spot in our economic system which
makes it possible for such condi-
tons to continue.
SECURITY "clear" real estate
The only people, men or institu-
lions, who are in a secure position
today are the ones who owe moth
ing and who have some source of
income not dependent upon the
daily turnover of trade. Those and
the self-sustaining farmers of whom
there r many.
l have one friend whose property
consists of real estate in a large
eastern city. His grandfather
founded the fortune which his
father conserved and which has
now come under his management
as trustee for all the heirs. The
policy laid down by the founder of
the fortune was eve to borrow a
cent, never mortgage a piece of
property. If the rents were not
enough to live on, cut down per-
sona1 living expenses but don't i'm
pair the capital by selling some of
it.
My friend has been accustomed
to spending a hundred thousand a
year or more. Now he is living at
the rate of about $4,000 a year.
But every piece of property he
owns is rented, although what the
thousand or so tenants can pay is
not much more than enough to pay
the taxes and upkeep. The prop
erty still stands, however, and some
day prosperity will return and rents
will go up again.
Real estate comes the nearest to
offering security of anything l
know of. But not when it is mort
gagged.

People with some capital reserves,
he explained, r putting their
money into diamonds as the safest
way of conserving their capital,
possibly increasing it and convert
ing it back into cash over night.
Europeans, taking advantage of the
deprecated dollar, are sending to
America to buy diamonds.
These diamond purchases repre-
sent largely, capital that ordinarily
would go into industrial or COM

TO-DAY AND
TOMORROW
FRANK PARKER SToCKBRlDGE

CREDIT its obligations
The whole trouble with the cred
it situation today, as a banker
friend of mine explains it to me,
is that the people who are asking
for credit are not entitled to it and
those who are entitled to it are
using it. To be entitled to credit
at a bank, a man must either be
the owner of property which can
be thrown on the market and con-
verified into cash quickly, to meet
his loan when it comes due, or else
be able to show that there is a bet
ter than even chance that by using
the borrowed money in business he
can make enough to pay off the
loan and leave himself a profit.
Too many people have the idea
that everybody ought to be able to
walk into a bank and borrow
money, regardless of his prospects
of repaying 1t. The honest banker,
responsible to his depositors for the
careful investment of their money,
can't lend it out that way. Very
few people in any community
know how to use money p~rofitably;
if most of us did more of us would
be rich.
l think one of the principal
causes of the present distress is that
too much credit was extended in
boom times to people who were
not entitled to it and who did not
know how to use it.
CASH it's scarce
The other day l talked with five
or SIX of my country neighbors in
the course of one Saturday morn
ing. Every one of them said that
cash was harder to get hold of than
it had ever been in their memory.
| weht to New York and met a
couple of business men whom 1

business was good-one said better

porations were taking from two
weeks to two months longer to pay
their bills than they had ever done
before.

MONEY

We don't pretend to understand
money. We don't know anybody
else who knows very much about
money. About the only thing
that is clear to us, and to most of
the folks we know, is that money is
something most of us haven't got
enough of.
If there were any real under
standing Of money anywhere, it
would seem to be among the big
bankers and fnanciers, and per-
haps in the Treasures of the great
nations of the world. But when
we read about all the utterly diver
gent views about money and its i'm
portance in the scheme of things,
expressed by the very men who, if
the subject were fully understood,
ought to be in complete agreement
about it, we wonder why there
should be so much difference of
opinion on such things as gold,
paper currency, managed currency,
the Commodity dollar" and all the
other phases of the subject on
which it seems as if no two people
or nations agree.
We read that the nations COM
posing the gold bloc," which
means those still on the gold stand
ard, recently met in Brussels and
decided to stay on gold. The next
day we read that Holland is very
likely to go off gold and join up
with England under the sterling
managed currency plan, although
her representatives sat in with
France, Belgium, Poland, Czecho-
slovakia, Switzerland and Italy in
the gold bloc conference. We read
about complaints from China that
the American silver buying policy
has injured their foreign trade, and
we hear of professors and econom-
lists who are offering new advice
every few days to our Government.
And on top of that, we hear not
only of schemes for increasing the
volume of money in circulation,
but a new scheme for dated mon
ey" that would have to be spent
within a given time or it wouldn't
be any good.
Thinking about such things, and
recalling some of the token mon
ey" that was issued two or three
years ago by communities in
which the banks were closed, and
which seemed to work pretty we'll,
we wonder whether it makes much
difference what we use for money.
Our New England pioneers adopt
ed the Indians wampum currency,
because they didn't have any other
kind of money. In Virginia the
early settlers used tobacco for
money.
1t looks to us that money is
whatever people are willing to ac-'
cept for what they have to sell, and.
as if the worlds big problem now
