trivial and unnecessary task.
When Silver entered Roddy's house,
she found Corinne writing letters in
the living room. Rody, at the dining
room table, was at work over his
ledger.
"Phronie wants to borrow some
cinnamon, Corinne," Silver explained
when Roddy's wife inquiringly turned
her head. 81 can find it myself in the
kitchen"
"Oh," Corinne said inattentively.
Paula will be down in a minute.
She's MISUNDERSTANDING her hair,
suppose. She'll find the cinnamon for
you. I'm sure don't know where she
keeps it. Sit down, Silver. 1 must get
these letters finished"
Silver picked up a copy of Vanity
Fair and seated herself in the dining
room. Roddy gave her an odd, vague
ly troubled look, then dropped his
eyes again to his ledger.
But Immediately there was the
sound Of a car entering the driveway,
and Corinne went to answer the door
bell.
"T'd better go home," Silver said
quickly to Roddy.
A CLEAN of anger lit Roddy's eyes.
"You stay where you are" he COM
manded didn't you tell me people
round here had to get used to you? ?"
Silver had no time to make a reply.

Drug to Cure Insanity
Predicted by Surgeon

Detoit, Oct. 17.-Belief that within
five years drug injected into some
feebleminded or insane persons will
restore full use of faculties was ex-
pressed today by DR.. Charles H.Mayo,
Rochester Mimi surgeon in an sd-
dress before the Interstate Post Grad
uate Medical Association.
This drug is now being used ex-
perimentally, but DR.. Mayo refused TO-
disclose it's composition or nature
since experimentation was still in
progress.
81 feel that within comparatively
short time We are going to make the
cure permanent" he said. ct am sure
that we now have a drug which will
change the blood circulation of the
brain and will prove especially effec-.
tive in the case of young persons suf-
fering from dementia praecox."

Nuts and Kernels
By Troy Isaiah Jones

People who don't believe in nudism
kick too on the naked truth.
They call teaching a drilling pro-
cess. Before the day is over for the
teacher you will think that it is
boring.
Every generation furnishes a gen.
Jus, who is man who does not know
how he did what he did.
When you see young man cutting
wide swath you may know right
then that he is in a hurry to get to
his patch of wild oats.
I know of a church that uses the
unique method of teaching honesty
by putting one-armed man a-hOld
of the collection plate.
Mussolini is as big as Caesar in a
way. But the way is not as wide. And
l am afraid won't be as long.
On basis of intelligence we don't
expect Austria and Hungary to do
much worse than Italy.
l would like to see Mussolini come
to the front in battle line.
Some men it does not hurt to blow
their heads off.
Talk about things getting ripe-I
think that the world is about rotten
for another war!
Since the women have found out
that there are no pockets in the air
they have ceased to have the interest
in aviation.

SEPTEMBER HIGHWAY DEATHS
ONLY ONE LESS THAN RECORD

Automobile accidents claimed 116
lives in North Carolina in September,
only one less than the record highway
death toll for one month which was
set in December, 1884, at 1T.
In nine months this year automo-
bile accidents claimed 757 lives in the
state, no more than the CAT killed in
the similar period of 1884.
Compilation of the September sta
tistics was not complete, r. r. Nc
Laughlin, director Of the motor We
hicle bureau states, but it was shown
that drunken drivers figured in 80
non-fatal accidents.
The death list of 116 for September
this year was 10 names longer than
in September, 1884, and I'll injured
last month exceeded the GAG hurt in
the similar month last year.

Berlin Ready on Defense
In this view, the National Union

Every building In Berlin has q lead

Is In supreme control and has a
nur5e, q fireman, and O shelter-boSs
to see that everything Is ready for
gas and bomb defense. Five million
such people have been trained in
Germany for their part IN possible

has succeeded In enlisting only 300,-

trained to take instantaneous charge
Of civilians under air attack.
Every Cellar Checked
Berlin has made a careful census
Of every cellar. But nothing Of the
sort has been done In Paris. The
National Union states that o few

bombproofs, but that only q hand
full are built TO Withstand gas.
A vague plan Is discussed to turn
the famous ole catacombs beneath

WASHINGTON. June 29-P1-In
q turbulent six-month session vast
iy different from that which snap
ped through early New Deal legis-
lstion, congress has ground out four
major administration measures and
blocked a great many proposals
opposed by the president.
AS the half-year mark IN the
legislative siege was reached Sat-
urday the lawmakers had yet TO
finish work on such explosive
Roosevelt measures as the utility
holding company bill, the omnibus
bank bill TO give the Federal Reserve
Board power TO control currency and
credit, and amendments to bolster
the AAA against court attack.
The social security bill. which the
president has indicated he regards
as the most important Of all the
legislation pending in congress,
had passed both houses and seemed
destined to become law within o
short time.
But wen as the long-indisputed
security program moved clear OF
the congressional Jam, Mr.. Roose-
velt's recommendations for new
and higher taxes on the wealthy
and for legislation to plug loop
holes left by the supreme courts
gold decision led leaders to predict
that two more months would be
required re-enact the administra-
ton program.
Among the New Deal measures
alerady completed during the ses-
sion, these stood out:
/ The s4.SS0. 900. 900 work relief
approximation.
2. Extension Of a s~keletoni0ed

really safe bet to protect civilians
Is to get them out Of there-evac-
uation.
Residents remember that the gov
eminent was on the very point or
sacrificing Paris TO the advancing
Germans In 1914, moving out the
government offices and evacuating
the people.
The military authorities have q
plan-on paper-for removing old
people, women, and children from
Paris IN time Of danger. But Paris
ians think OF those 90 minutes, and
shrug.
In Germany, rehearsals for evacu-
alton OF whole cities have already
been held.
Refuse 10 Worry
But in Paris the national tempera-
ment has prevented any public re-
hearsals OF passive air defense.
Some first aid teams have worked
out publicly. but only q few, not a
tenth OF the 100000 women nurses
whom the National Union has al
ready enlisted for this work.
SO the National Union, whose
president Is CASTOR Doumergue, ex-

educational means what IL cannot
accomplish by actual rehearsal.
It keeps drumming home certain
simple rules as to what the individ-
ual should do TO protect himself in

Tests here and in London, indicate
that non OF the home defenses OF

Is TO destroy the enemy's air squad

this would happen.
What is more likely A. that every

What percentage Of Professor
Langevin's 100 planes would get
through to Paris under war condt-

while-if that were any satisfaction
to the unhappy Parisians-some
French bombers might have gotten
through to Berlin.
So there might be Supplying de-
