Beautiful Homes
Mold Character

Beauty in ones surroundings be-
comes a part of ones life, charac-
ter, and personality. 1t should not
be set apart for only occasional en-
joyment.
The homemaker who can select
and arrange furnishings to make a
room more beautiful is an artist,
said Miss Pauline Gordon, extension
specialist in home management at
State College.
eff your home has charm and
distinction, it must be comfortable
and convenient, soothing to the
mind and productive of an inner
contentment," she stated.
"Have you ever entered a room
that has gaudy-flowered walls,
snowy lace curtains, bright rugs,
over-decorated vases and 1ampsa
What type of person do you expect
to find living in such a room?
"And what kind of people do you
think would live in a room with
soothing ivory walls, soft mellow
lights, rugs with subdued and har-
monious coloring, quiet d~raperies,
comfortable chairs in front of a
fire, plenty of books, and a few
good pictures?"
If your home is to be pleasant
and attractive, it must be ''home-
ike, Miss Gordon pointed out.
The woman who has a home of
charm must make it livable.
Do not overcrowd a room with
furniture, or hang pictures all over
the walls. Objects which have no
practical use should be placed in a
room only when needed to bring III
color and interest.
Furnishings should be grouped
for convenience. In the living
room should be a place for CONVEX
! %sation, a place for reading with
adequate, we'll shaded lights, a place
for writing, and maybe a place for
singing or playing music. The
room as a whole should be restful
and pleasant.

memory of her mother, Mrs. Eliza
beth Conrad Zartmen. The prize is
SIS to be awarded annually to the
woman of the sophomore class
among those receiving scholarship
aid in any form, who makes the

activities of the faculty in profess
sional societies and clubs, the
studies, papers, and other programs
rendered. He also noted the fine
work being done by DIR. Ernest
Derendinger in the field of history
and appreciation of art throughout
the state and particularly among
school teachers.
Plans for the future development
of the campus, in relation to the
growing needs of the college, were
discussed, and committees recon-
mended to make surveys and
studies for action at a later date.
The trustees were entertained at
lunch by DR.. and Mrs, Omwake

Terraced Lands
Stood The Test

High Point.-Despite the most
severe weather conditions known
to this section in decades, terraces
built by the Soil Conservation
Service have stood the test, &C.
cording to a recent survey con-
Quoted under the direction of ]. A.
Muncey, chief agricultural engin-
eer of the Soil Conservation Serv-
ice.
TERRACES are designed and con-
structed," says Mr.. Muncey, Ito
fit the needs of the sloping farm
land of the Piedmont. They are
built wide enough to permit cult
walton and high enough to carry
the maximum rain occurring in a
ten-year period.
eft would be an easy natter -
he explained, "to build all terraces
to cover all unusual rains, but the
expense of construction and main
tenance, as we'll as their size, would
r nder them highly impractical.
By proper cropping methods such
as contour tillage-with rows run
ming parallel to the terraces and
ordinary care in breaking the land,
the terraces can be maintained in
good condition. This fact is evil
denced by the extremely small per-
centage of damaged work found in
the Deep River area. 1t is felt that
as the new methods of contour
tillage and proper methods of plow-
ing are better understood, the
small amount of terrace damaging
will be eliminated"
Reports of the Soil Conservation
Service show that two years ago
there were less than 200 acres of
terraced land. Where a small wash
occurs now due to an o~vertopped
terrace, hundreds of pounds of top
soil, which under the old system
would have been lost, is held on
the land. The ~terracing program,
dove-tailed in with the other prac-
tees of forestry, agronomy, Wild
life conservation and soil studies, is
expected to contribute immeasur-
ably to the restoration of farm
lands in this section.

FDA Saves Aged
Negroes Home

II am u years old. l borrowed
$4,000 in 1924, for which I paid
II per cent. interest up until .hree
years ago when l just couldn't pay
it. Now the man l got the loan
from claims I owe him $1,000 and
is about to foreclose and sell my
farm where I was born and raised
three children, all of whom are able
to help me now. My two girls are
school teachers and my boy is a fair
mechanic"
This was the story of a gray
haired colored man, related to the
Farm Debt Adjustment advisory
committee in Mercer County, Ken
lucky, according to a report re-
ceived by W. Kerr Scott, regional
FDA chief, Resettlement Admin
istration, Raleigh.
The sympathy of the committee
for the aged Negro was aroused,
the report stated. The group call
ed in the creditor and did a little
plain talking. The colored farm
er had a loan commitment from the
Federal Land Bank for 5000, of
which $500 was to be used for re-
pairing buildings. The creditor
was advised to withdraw the fore
closure proceedings and accept the
balance of 5000 from the Land
Bank loan as sediment in full on
the $4,000 note. The creditor &C
cepted the proposition and the col
ored mans home was thus saved.
David S. Martin, district FDA
supervisor, who reported the case,
was strong in his praise of the ad-
committee. One of the
committeeman, he stated, was a
banker, whose bank held a large.

Still Write
But Sales Are Low

New York.-The poets are not
discouraged.
Poetry may not sell, but when
a call went out recently for re-
preventative poetry by women,
nearly 10000 poems were submit
ted. A selection of 10000, by 1900
poets from every state in the I'M
ion, was made and published in the
anthology called contemporary
American Women Poets"
Nevertheless, publishers main
tain, with certain notable excep-
tons poetry just can't be sold. These
publishers point unabashed to their
stock shelves as proof.
Nor is there a distinction be-
tween urban and small town read
ers in the matter, with a few ex-
ceptions.
Jingly verse such as that of o.
den Nash and Margaret Fishback
sells, better, publishers declare, in
big towns than in small.
On the other hand, Edna St.
Vincent Millay, probably the best
selling American poet, sells fairly
evenly through the land. Accord
ing to the sales manager for Miss
Millay's publisher, when a new
book is announced it is ord
cred about on the scale of a new
novel by a popular novelist. /

appeal, their publisher believes, es
pecially to college students ane
young people generally. Edwin
Arlington Robinson's poetry ap-
peals equally to townsman and
countryman; it sells better in Maine
proportionately, than anywhere
else. Edgar Lee Masters best market
is the middle west, and Robinson
Jeffers' largest audience is on the
west coast.
Poetry used to. sell better than
now according to Elliot B. McRae.
But some of the Millay sales fig
Ire would make even an old time
poet envious.
Her best, so far, has been "Fata
Interview" which topped $4,000.
Next best is "The Harp Weaver -

somewhat surprisingly "The Kings

More than $4,000 people have

Ambers Too Fds1
ForCdnzoneri
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Out OF
one corner of the ring bounced
the newly crowned lightweight
champion of the world. That was
Luigi d'Ambrosio, better known to
the beak-buSting trade as Lou Am
bers, a human jumping jack from
Herkimer, N. Y.
Through the ropes in the other
corner stumbled a battered figure
with wrinkled forehead; mashed
nose and gaShed cheek who looked
like little old gnome. That was
Tony Canzoneri, the battlescarred
warrior who had gone to the wars
Just once too often.
A near capacity crowd in Madi-
son Square Garden saw Tony
blow his title by decision at the
end of Is fairly close rounds.
Had the fight been a hereunder
Tony might have held his title,
but those extra five rounds proved
too much for aged legs that had
carried him through 1879 bitter bat
ties in the last dozen years.
