While there is more agitation for
peace in all parts of the world than
there ever has been in the past, the
world is more heavily armed today
than it has ever been during peace
time in it's history. As far as being
prepared goes, practically every ma
ton is in much higher rate of pre-
pardness than existed at the time
the world war broke.

Simpson Case Recalls Other
Friendships OF King Edward
British Monarch AS Prince Of Wakes, Often Was In
Company of Lady Furness, Former Thelma Morgan,
And Edith Baker, Ex-Follies Girl

New York, Dec. (AP)-There are
four women of that motley multitude
known as "commoners" to whom the
unfolding of the worlds great love
story must be bringing back treas
uled memories of attentions bestow-
ed upon them by King Edward VIII !.
That's excepting Mrs. Wallis Simp-
son, the only one he has sought TO
marry, as far as the public knows.
Now she herself has called her posi-
ton "untenable" and she may join
the other four who may never even
have hoped to marry him.
Three women who were often in
the company of the king have been
Americans Before Mrs. Simpson
came into the picture more than
three years ago, there was Lady Fur
ness, the former Thelma Morgan,
twin sister of Mrs Reginald Wander
bilt.
Edward ceased extending invita-
tons to her almost Immediately aft
err her divorce from Lord Furness
was made absolute.
A little authenticated American
beauty who preceded Lady Furness
has almost been forgotten today on
both sides of the Atlantic, although
eight years ago she was hailed on
Broadway as the finest jazz pianist
on the stage.
A cable to the New York Times in
1926 told how the Prince of Wales.

by Miss Edith Baker formerly of
Kansas City. This was the same
young lady who had been thrilling
Broadway by her piano playing.
She travelled with the princes party
to Paris, danced with him SIX times
and played the piano for him for 40
minutes, this story OF their first
meeting said.
Miss Baker, ziegfeld Follies girl,
was in the news again when the
prince went to the first opening night
in London he had ever attended. 1t

crowd recognized him and cheered.
Embarrassed, he left his box hurried
ly to smoke a cigarette.
This girl, who was educated in St.
Mary's convent in Kansas City. was
seen often with the prince after that.
The prince introduced her to Ger
aid D'Erianger, dark and handsome
son of Baron DErlanger, wealthy
British banker. His sister was the
best friend OF the princes sister,
Princess Mary. On January .. 1928,
Edith was married to DErlanger.
She made her first trip back to
Kansas City after eight years abroad
in 1884, and besides announcing that
she was separated from her husband.
Edith revealed that he had given up
her stage career. Friends here under
stand that she is somewhere in Eu-
rope now.
Two other close friends of the
Prince of Wales were English girls.
one of whom married an American

The king may do one of three
things:
First, renounce his desire to make
morganatic marriage with the twice
divorced American woman.
Second, force showdown and re-

They were seen together often be-

Raleigh, Dec. 9-W Kerr Scott, of
Haw River, who will become commits
sioner of agriculture January 7, is
losing no time in starting his pro-
missed cleanup and clean-out Of the
Department Of Agriculture. For,
while he will not take office for al
most 30 days yet, he has already mott
fled a number of employees that their
services will not be needed after he
becomes head of the department. AL
most two weeks ago he announced
that married women whose husbands
have jobs and are able to support
them will not be retained, also that
he does not intend to keep more than
one member of a family on the de-
partment's payroll.
Scott has had the employees of the
Department of Agriculture on pins
and needles for several weeks and
the worst cases of filters to be found
among any State employees are to be
found in that department now, since
most of those in the department still
fear they will lose their jobs, even
though they have not yet been mott
fled.
The rumor is not going the rounds
in the Department of Agriculture
that even the unmarried women stem
ographers and Clerks, if they smoke
cigarettes, are likely to be fred This
is due to the fact that one of the
first questions Scott, has asked the
employees he has interviewed he
has talked to almost all of them with
In the last two weeks-is whether or
not they smoked. Some of the steno-
graphers and clerks frankly admitted
they smoked, others denied it, though
their fingers showed plainly they did
smoke, it is understood After they
had blushed and suffered a few mo-
ments, Scott would say.

smoke-I have no objections to it.

Scott has already indicated he in
tends to keep some of the employees
of the department. But the belief
is that majority of those now en-
ployed there will not be retained.

.HOEY OUTSMARTS
MERCHANTS GROUP
By Attending His Confer
ence, They Admit Need
of Sales Tax
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel,
Rv Il q RASK ER VIII,
BY j. {


Raleigh, Dec. g. GovernOr-elect
Clyde r. Hoey has already scored a
fast one on the merchants of the
State. or at least on the North Caro-
lima Association, as a result of the
conference which he will hold here
tomorrow with a committee of the
State Merchants Association, at which
this committee has been invited to
make suggestions and recommends
tons for any changes in the sales
tax law or for its better enforce
ment, according to comment heard
here today. By agreeing to attend
this conference and to make sugges-
ton; or recommendations in the sales
tax law, the merchants, or at least
their committee, are tacitly agreeing
that the sales tax law cannot and
will not be repealed and that all they
can hope for is to get some changes
made in it that will make it more &C
ceptable to them, most observers
here agree. 1t is also pointed out
that after comforting with Governor
elect Hoey and making suggestions
and recommendation as to chanes
they would like to see made in the
SdlcS LAX ldW, LndC the merchants
cannot then with very good grace
turn around and fight the entire law
and try to get it repealed.
The merchants know, of course,
that Mr.. Hoey is committed to keep
ing the sales tax and that he has no
intention of recommending or per-
hitting its repeal. In his campaign
he did propose to restore the exemp-
tons on essential foods, but that is
as far as he went. So if the merch-
ants have any hope Of defeating the
sales tax in the forthcoming session
of the General Assembly and if they
intend to fight Mr.. Hoey on the sales
tax issue, they should not have ac-
cepted his invitation to make sug-
gestions as to changes they would
like to see made in the sales tax law,
1t is maintained. Instead, they should
have informed Mr.. Hoey that, since
they are opposed to the entire sales
tax law, both in practice and in
theory, they had no suggestions or
recommendations to make other than
it be repealed, a good many here
believe.
But by appointing this committee
and agreeing to this conference, the
North Carolina Merchants Associa-
ton is now regarded as admitting
that the sales tax will be reenacted
and that all it can hope for is some
changes in it..
