We prefer not to think of Durham Hosiery Mitis

it's history. There was time when these mills

GoERCH FOR PROHIBITION

Carl Goerch, editor of The State, published at
Raleigh, has come out in fullpage EDITORIAL with
the declaration that North Carolina made wise
decision last November when an overwhelming mo-
jority voted for retention of prohibition.
Editor Goerch declares that North Carolina is
thousand times better off under the burlington
Act than it would be if it followed the example
set by other States and permitted Liquor to flow
freely and without any restrictions whatsoever"
Exhibit A offered in explanation of the Goerch
"change of attitude" is the report of somebody
who recently visited Norfolk on busy Saturday
night and lot of DRINKS on certain street
in what one is led to suppose is sort of Gender
loin" district of the Virginia city. ..
The conversion of Editor Goerch, who was a
militant wet last November and who frankly ad-
mits that he is still personally wet" should be
the cue for great rejoicing in the prohibition
camp, we suppose.
The Record, however, fails to grow enthusiastic
over the Goerch argument which is that the "drys
have the law on their side" while the "wets can
get all the liquor they WANT of better quality and
at cheaper prices than in the states where booze
is legiaized
If that be the principal reason for a wet pub
location jumping over to the dry side of the
fence, then the prohibition cause is losing more
than it gains.-Hickory Daily Record.

burden of all the States short term convicts to

WOMEN SHOULD NOT WORK

The world will await with the greatest OF inte"-
est an inauguration of Premier Mussolini's plan to
solve the unemployment and the population prob
lem with one motion in Italy by removing all wo-
men from industry. g.. ...,...., 81,
It is the theory of II Duce that the woman who
engages in industry is not apt to be the mother oil
as many children as the woman who engages IN
honie-making. We suspect that Mussolinrs long!
ing for more little italian children has something
to do with the size of Italys future armies, but
that is aside from the economic aspect of the pro-
posed experiment. .s,.-. -. ,,.,..,.....,;t .!.I
Removal of women from industry would prac-'
tically remove all men from unemployment. The
men in turn would then be able to marry the
women and to raise great many youngsters, who
in a few years would be potential buyers of in
dustrial products produced by their papas.
How greatly the present industrial problems of
unemployment have been affected by the entrance
of women into industry is a moot point, We fear
the Termination of industry in the United States
has reached the point where it would cause vir-
tual revolution should there be a serious attempt
to end it, and with women voting it appears that
it would also require virtual dictator to enforce
it. "''~o' 70" y. may p ~. .", '.i...'"''''

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
By Uncle Ike Walton

Some of the rempnstrances di-
rected at President Roosevelt
these days remind one of what
the committee of the congrega-
ton told their preacher once. An
old and beloved pastor of the
A. M. f. church on the plantation
of the late DR.. Hutchinson, Of Co
lumbus, Miss, died. His parish
toner's asked the doctor to sug-
gest to them how they might get
a young, up-to-date and progress
sive preacher. DR.. Hutchinson
suggested that they write Booker
T. Washington for one. They did
so and the colored educator sent
them one trained in his new
school of thought. The young
preacher began to hand the
brethren a New Deal in preach
ing.
He denounced lying, stealing,
'loafing, undue attentions to the
wrong women and other current
practices with no uncertain
sound. The novelty of the dis
courses stirred the countryside.
Overlooking audiences filled the
church. The success of the New
Deal seemed assured.
But one day committee from
the congregation waited on the
pastor.
"Young brother" said their
spokesman, "we'se been pow-fully
edited by your ministrations and
de strength of your sermons. But
now, brother, since we got de big
congregations, and de sperrit
moving in their hearts, don't you
think you might moderate little

used to have.n T..

YOU NEED NOT GO FAR TO FIND
ROMANCE g..
CBy BRUCE CATION


The word romance is strange one.
It usually conjures up visions of men who
live lives of danger and aetion-soldiers,
cowboys, explorers, sailors, and so on; too
often we forget that the greatest romance
of all is sometimes to be found in a life
which, to all outward seeming, is prosaic
and uneventul ~ J.. .s-, .F'
One is reminded of this by news of the
recent death of DR.. William Campbell Po-
sey, noted Pennsylvania opthalmologist.
DR.. Posey spent his life combating dis
eases of the eye; and short time before
his death he wrote short article for "The
SIGHTSEEING Review" telling of the ro-
nance he had found in the long fight to
keep pepole from losing their eyesight. p
He told of the German physician, $50
years ago, who first suspected that infec-
ton in child's eyes at birth could be the
cause of blindness, and who vainly tried
to persuade his colleagues of the truth of
~ his theory. He had no success. .-,~
Physicians kept on explaining to har-
raised parents that their children had lost
their sight because of peculiar atmospheric
conditions, cold drafts, unbalanced condi-
tons in'the alimentary canal, and the like
and newborn children kept on being
stricken with blindness. - 90,
Then DIR. Posey went on to carry the
story down through the years He told
how the old German doctor was vinaicat-
ed, some 80 years later, when another
German doctor showed the world how to
save the sight of thousands of infants an
nually by dropping per cent solution
OF silver nitrate into the eyes of newborn
babies. -. .....s .-.-. =
He told how other specialists devised
equipment to make happier and easier the
lives of people born with weak or defee-
tive eyes; how special methods of care
and training were drawn up to- fit those
who did lose their sight for useful, normal
existence; how hospitals and clinics were
founded to prevent blindness; how means
We're found OF preventing many injuries to-
the1 eyes; how vast mass Of knowledge
of diseases of the eye was complied. to-
MAKE the task Of saving eyesight progress
siveIy easier. -... ~.
And m all Of this DR.. lPosey found ain
aoserbingly romantic steFy-as the rest of
us can do, also, if we get rid of our pre-
conceived notions about what romance
really rs. sec ~,;'lg2.s e.. '-,. " ~ e.
In the age-old struggle to make the hard
lot of human beings: little brighter and
happier there is romance enough to sat-
lsfy the most ardent. All we need is some
one like DIR. Posey to- make us see It.
