BEST HEAT STORY.
THE best heat story of the year
comes from "F' Building on Sew
enth street. little way south of Con-
sti.ution avenue. The other afternoon
1t got so hot on the third floor that
the automatic fire sprinkler started of
full! tilt.
Only one of the automatic valves
took part in the miniature deluge
which burst forth just after the Gov
ernment employees had left the build
ing for the day. Quick control work
by the guards confined the flood to
one room.
The third floor is occupied by Gov
ernment architects and the walls of
the room were covered with drawings
of the Texas Narcotic Farm" a new
Federal project where mild addictS to
the drug habit will be housed during
efforts toward permanent cures. With
the use of hot irons the drawings were
dried out. only two of the plans having
TO be redrawn.
"F"' Building is one of the few tenn
porary World War structures remain
ing in the Capital. 1t was used by the
Surgeon General of the Army in 1918
and l9 and was built in IS days.

WHAT GOVERNMENT TAKES

Government is absorbing $1.30 out of every So
of Americas income, according to Forbes Maya
zine "This means that you and l. the people OF
this country have to work between two and two
and half days of every week to support govern
ment and taxeaters And still heavier levies, espe-
cially by the federal government, confront us.
Before long, judging by federal expenditures
and mounting debts, may have to toll three days
a week to keep tax-leviers going. History reveals
that powerful nations have invariably been ruined
by mounting tax burdens. No nation ever spent 50
much money America is spending today to main
tain it's federal and local governments"
These things are plain. The mass of the people
apparently fails to understand that government is
consuming the wealth of the nation. Intelligent
persons are concerned for the morrow, for govern
ment must either pay its debts or repudiate them.
The day of reckoning may be postponed but it
must come.
As long as government takes with lavish hand
private enterprise must be handicapped. Govern
ment has only what it takes from the people. At
last the ultimate consumer must supply the funds,
however indirect the taxes may be- There is limit
to what the ultimate consumer can give and still
survive.-Charleston News and Courier

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
LET'S PRETEND

bookkeeping is a wonderful thing, tool which
NAV be put to many uses 1t may be used, for ex-
ample to tell a business man whether his business
is operating at a profit or at loss. Or it may be
used. in competent hands, to make loss look like
profit.
Thus, as Paul w. Ward demonstrated in The Sun
this morning bookkeeping is proving helpful to the
PWA. The PWA is interested in low-cost housing,
the object Of which is to provide weli-bult dwell
lings of modern design for those who can't pay
much rent and who are living in practically
unlivable quarters. A number of such low-cost
housing projects are under construction.
The PWA proposes that these shall be self-liqu-
datinp-that is, that they shall be financed by rent
In order to come out even the PWA would have to
charge the average family around $3463 the month
for rent
But the PWA is determined not to charge any
such rent as that The people for whom the low
cost housing is being built could not pay any such
rent How to solve this difficulty?
All! Bookkeeping! The PWA is, for bookkeeping
purposes, considering itself state or municipality
thus becoming eligible for As per cent outright
grant. Thus the PWA is able to give itself $780,
600 from it's give-away fund for every million dol
lars worth of housing 1t thus pretend that
the mllon-dollar proJect is only cosCihS @o'V'ooo'
Furthermore, for the balance 1T issues itself
mortgage which is payable in 60 years. The estl-
mated life of the housing is AZ years, so the mort
gage won't come due until Is years after the houS-
ing in theory, has tumbled down or been torn
down.
Thus, by means of these bookkeeping devices,
the PWA is able to bring down the payment cost
of it's housing projects to reasonable" figure,
and will only have to charge from $40 to $3.50
per family to make the projects, from bookkeep-
ing point of view, self-liquqidating. Bookkeeping
is a wonderful thng.-Baltimore Evening Sun.

HOT AIR zoo MILES UP

New discoveries making our air layers, which
blanket the earth to the depth of several hundred
miles, more and more complicated. According to
DIR. E. E. Free, Prof. E. " Appleton, British radio
expert has made tests which indicate that shell
of air, intensely hot, exists 200 miles above the
surface of the earth Tests were made with short
radio waves Because of the apparently highly
ionized state of the air in that locality, it is be-
heved that there is layer there that has been
heated to about 1900 degrees Fahrenheit by ab-

REAL. ROMANCE

Truth in many instances is actually much strang-
er than fiction ..
AS youths many of read the intriguing but
impossible tales of Jules Verne not realizing thai
within few years man would be flying around
the world and navigating the depths of the ocean.
Today, as we read of the proposed rescue ex-
petition which is to be undertaken for the purpose
of seeking Paul Redfern, missing American f1ier,
and known personally to many Tar Heel people,
old memories Of fantastic fiction are stirred
Yet, there is the possibility that Redfern may be
found alive in the jungles of Dutch Guiana, where
his airplane was wrecked in 1927 while on a flight
from Brunswick, Ga, to Brazil. He was last re-
ported as seen by the crew of steamer, off the
coast of Venezuela.
William La Varre, explorer and mining expert,
announces that Major Willis Taylor and some CON-
.panions will fly from the Canal Zone in effort
to rescue Redfern. La Varre, who knows whereof
he speaks from experience declares it is easily pos
sible that the missing Redfern may have lain for
years in an Indian village not more than 200 miles
inland without getting word back to civilization.
If the expedition should bring Redfern back
home alive think of the storyhe will be able to tell
in this day when such experiences as he may have
had seem so impossible to most of us-Hickory

ALL SAINTS.
BY MAUDE WADDELI


"For all the saints who from their
labors rest,
Who Thee by faith before the
world confessed, ,
Thy name, o, Jesus, be forever
blest; 80
Aileluia, alleluia."
From the especial region about
Charlotte, and from the whole
south, one has recently "rested
from his labors" who lives today
in the hearts Of many. Today,
All Saints day, when the "great
cloud of witnesses" of those who
have crossed over the river and
are waiting in the shade of the
trees is celebrated, the name and
memory of Wade Hampton Har-
ris, LID, wells UP in the hearts
of those who knew and consc-
quently loved him.
When Colonel Harris, veteran
of the editorial chair, laid down
his mortal life for his immortal
one. he did so in unwavering
faith. His universally was unin-
terferred with by prejudice or
limit and his faith, expressed as
Whittier's, might have said: 81
know not where His islands lift
their fronded palms in air, / only
know I cannot drift beyond His
love and care.'
To an intimate friend suffering
from a bitter disappointment Col
onel Harris once said that he too
had been called upon to lay down
some of his life's cherished ambi-
tions.
This heaven-sent discipline serv-
ed but to soften him and he ac-
copied his suffering as one with
his Saviour's.
On All Saints day the sweet
perfume of lives thus lived rises
like incense before the affairs of
God and spreads abroad a holy in
fluence upon the lives OF those
who are as vet WORKING out their
salvation in this vale Of tears and
with yearning are awaiting their
heavenly home.
