The cat aroused by smoke, awakened mem bers of the Adkins family by jump ing in bed, and the alarm was given. : he damage was confined mainly to the top floor apartment.

Postal Receipts May Jump 1O%

Though December figures for postal receipts will not be avail- able for several days, local post office officials predicted today that the present month would show a gain of at least 10 per cent over the holiday month last year. The monthly report will make known whether or not the total receipts for the year will pass the half-miIliOn dollar mark, but it is a near-certainty that they will.
 Postmaster Charles A. Babin said this afternoon that he feels confident that the December te- ceipts will run at least 10 per cent better than those for the same month i'm 1884. The holi- day mail at the local post office was the greatest in several years, he said, and augSired well for 1886. Postmaster Babin be- Iieves the increased receipts are the result of a general upturn in conditions here.

the teeth. We were particularly
impressed as we saw the dentist
explain every correction and
show to the patient and those
looking on why certain correc-
lions were necessary. He was
teaching by illustration and these
illustrations remain with the
children as constant reminders
of mouth health. Further, it
was conclu~ We evidence to those

which the sr',uol dentist rendered
to them told only in part Of the
good results accomplished.
I believe the service is definite
ly improving the health condi-
tions by removing diseased teeth,
relieving infections, saving the
permanent teeth of those chill
dren whose parents are unable to
pay for dental services; teaching
the value Of proper foods grown
at home; the value of milk, and
the value of cleanliness inside
and out. Repeaters in school are
being reduced, thereby saving the
taxpayers many dollars.
Mouth health teaching is pop
ular with the masses in Pitt
County. It is demanded by their
children. Unusual as it may
seem, I have seen several chill
dren receiving treatment, each
demanding in no uncertain terms
that no one else get his turn, and
not one of them complained of
pain. They will be health-minded
men and women tomorrow, and
boosters for public health and the
County Health Department.
There is no better way to build a
successful county health depart
ment than to make it popular
with the masses-there is no bet
ter way to make it popular with
the masses than through mouth
health teaching.

Life, Not Wife,,
Can Remake
A Man

If women can't hold their men
these days, it's not the fault of the
newspapers. There's hardly a pub
LEGATION from the big city daily to
the country weekly that lacks a
column guaranteeing to teach them
all the tricks. They are told the
proper method of approach to their
game, how to set the snare and what
to do with the catch.
So it seemst hat any girl who
reads her paper we'll should have no
trouble getting and keeping a hus-
band. And that brings up the yer
plaguing question: Is man a man
ageable animal? All the facts dis
prove it, because in spite of the
study we've made the male remains
exactly as recalcitrant as before. He
goes on repeating his age-old sins
against us-wooing and then wav-
ing good-by; vowing eternal love
and vanishing. He resists every
effort to alter him.
No girl can learn this truth too
early. The reformation of hus-
bands is a stone wall against which
millions of women have beaten
their fists in vain. Man is intract-
able, and quite as much so now as
he was in the Ice Age, altho in a
different fashion. When he is re-
formed, changed, made over in any
way, you may be sure it is life, and
not a wife, that accomplishes the
feat.
Hardened arteries have converted
more men to the good life than all
the pious women. The philanderer
seldom forsakes his primrose paths
unless health forsakes him, while
the spendthrift will be a spend
thrift until he falls into his grave.
Years only increase the close-fsted-
ness of the stingy husband, and no
gambler was ever beguiled from his
cards or his races by the tears of a
loving mate.
The women of past generations
have labored nightly and accom-
plished nothing. l hope the girls
now coming on will not permit
themselves to be so deluded. Here's
a point to remember on the subject:
If a boys mother has failed to make
something out of him, no wife can
ever succeed in doing 50. t

THIS WEEK IN
WASHINGTON

CONTINUED from page one)
Wagner Labor bill is one Of those,
whose constitutionality is seriously
questioned even by those who voted
for it; so, also, is the Social Sc
curity bill, which is all set for
Senate enactment.
The amendments to the Agricul-
tural Administration Act will I'M
dergo a good deal of change before
this measuIe gets through. As
drafted, the bill would make all
distributors of agricultural pro-
ducts practically public utilities
and subject to Government regula-
ton.
Washington has been quite stir
red up over the question of who
paid the expenses of the several
thousand farmers who came to
Washington to demand continuan-
&c and strengthening of AAA. 1t
can be stated definitely that their
expenses were not paid out Of Fed
eral funds, though the movement
may have been encouraged.
Looking ahead to next years
Presidential elections ,as everybody
here is doing with one eye, what
ever he seems to be looking at with
the other, the most interesting de-
velopment is the talk of a conser-
vative coalition of Republicans and
nti-Adminis4ration Democrats,
under the leadership of Al Smith.
Your correspondent passes the Cos
sip along for what it is worth. 1t
is not as absurd as it may seem to
many at first glance.
There is little hope that the Re-
publican party alone and under
that name can challenge Mr..
Roosevelt with any great hope next
year, especially since the La Fol
lette crowd of Northwestern Pro-
gressives seem ready to come into
the Roosevelt tent. Perhaps a
Coalition or Fusion Party might
get somewhere anybody
could get them to coalesce in the
first place and that they would stay
fused up to election day.

Boil Weevil Warning
Issued By Brannon

A warning that boil weevil IN
festations in North Carolina may
be heavy this year was issued last
week by c. H. Brannon, extension
entomologist at State College.
Climatic conditions during the
winter and this spring have been
favorable to boil weevn develop
ment, Brannon pointed out, and
if cloudy, rainy weather occures
frequently during the cotton grow
ing season, weevils will be numer-
Gus.
During the latter part of 1894,
he continued, the weevil infesta-
ton in this State was heavy enough
to leave a large supply of weevils
for this season. Winter tempera-
lures were not low enough to kill
all the alternating insects.
The weather so far this spring
has been conductive to their deve-
lopment. All cotton growing
counties of the State will probably
be affected, Brannon said, and in
dications are that damage will be
heavier than usual in the Piedmont
area.
He is urging cotton growers to
prepare now for controlling the
weevil. 'Boll weevil poisoning is
recommended by both State and
the Federal agricultural agencies,
and it should be considered a regu-
lar part of making the cotton
CROP" Brannon said.
"Do not wait until the weevils
attack the cotton in great numb
ers. Get your machines in order
now: Lay in a supply of poison.
Prepare to fight the boil weevi.-
and pick all the cotton allowed you
under your government contract.
when the squares begin to
form, make weekly examinations
of the squares. AS soon as weevlls
are detected, start spraying or
busting. Don't raise your cotton
for weevil food"

Mouth Health Teaching Popularized Public
Health In Pitt County
BY ]. H. COWARD
County Auditor

THE effectiveness of a county
health department is deter
mined in a large measure by the
number of people served in a
actical way. They must see
the personal benefits to be de-
rived. Not a great per cent of
adults are inclined to seek this
type of service for themselves.
With most Of them it is dire
necessity or some health problem
affecting their children which
takes them to their county health
partment. It is the preference
of far too many of them, it seems,
that health "tment activities
be confne,' ldren. Even so,
this is O, best mediums
through to disseminate
County Health Programs. Bene-
flied children become, in due
season, adult boosters. Conse-
quently, mouth health programs,
in my opinion, should be one of
the principal activities of a
county health department.
We take much pride in the
fact that the Pitt County Health
Department was one of the first
established in the State. It has
been literally supported and
efficiently operated. We are so
we'll pleased with its work that
the appropriation for this year
is more than double that of last
year. However, not until 1929,
when we instituted mouth health
programs, as directed by the
State Board of Health, did we
find d medium through which the
masses could see direct results of
supporting the County Health
Department. In this year, we
contracted with the State Board
of Health, the county agreeing to
pay a part of the expenses, to
send a school dentist to the
county for a given number Of
weeks, this varying with the
amount appropriated. This year
we have increased our appropria-
ton to double the amount pro-
vided for dental services in 1929.
The school dentist takes mouth
health messages to all children
attending school, white or col
ored. With members Of the
County Board of Commissioners
I have visited schools where
mouth health programs were in
progress, and have seen the school
dentist teach health so that chill
dren could understand. W. have
seen him relieve suffering of chill
dren from poor families, some Of
whom very likely had never be-
fore heard Of a dentist. W. have
zen him instill in the minds Of
children of parents who were
able to pay for dental services,
but had themselves not been
taught the Importance of mouth
health, the immediate and con-
slant need for periodic visits to
