off down the path.

Jay. You shouldn't have given me
the ring in the first place. I was
going to give it back to you today, TO

disappeared. Jay called, and she an

"You will love her, Polly. She's

energy. But she's quite woman,
really"
AS they walked along. Polly thought
of headstrong Jay beside her. She
liked being his friend, picking up the
loose ends of his mind as he rushed
into something new every day. He
would rush into love the same way.
She liked being his fritl but
At the park they followed the wide
path toward clump of bushes in

THEY walked quickly toward the

see beyond the bushes Jay suddenly
stopped again. Polly stood beside
him, looking, too.

hear.
Beyond the bushes young woman,
a tiny woman with a mass of brown
hair, was rushing about frantically,
searching for something. And on a
bench nearby sat a giant of man
wearing rough clothes. He was very
much amused.
"Is that Juliet?" Polly asked.
''Julie!" said Jay impatiently.

Answer: 1t seems to me that you
have answered the question yourself
by explaining that Bill Is merely an
old friend whom you have always
known and who could not therefore
possibly object to your sending post
cards or letters, If you feel like it, to
roommate. Perhaps I need not
warn you that writing letters to boys
whom you know slightly is one of the
most imprudent things that a girl can
do. Therefore, in writing to your new
friend, 1t would be an excellent idea
to keep in mind the expectation that
he is going to show what you write him
to Bill.
DEAR MRS. POST: A very dear man
friend of mine Is to sail shortly, to
study for a long while in a foreign
land. I will be at the pier to say
good-by, of course, but would like to
send something to his cabin. If there
is anything you can suggest. The
conventional flowers and candy and
fruit seem rather feminine remem-
brances to send man-especially this
particular man.
Answer: If were you, would send
him magazines suitable to his par
ticular taste, or a book. Flowers and
candy to man are both very in
appropriate, anyway.
nEAR MRS. POST: Is 1t proper for
young man to go a distance
to visit in the house of girls parents,
when she alone has invited him and
the parents are strangers? And If so,
to whom should he take presents?
Answer: 1t is entirely proper that

TRIBUTE PAID
TO War DEAD
SUNDAY night
Annual Memorial Service
Held; Rev. B. E. Wall
Is Speaker

The church must follow its
Founder, Jesus Christ, in its at
titude toward war, the Rev. B. E.
Wall, pastor Of the First Baptist
church, told a large congregation
last night at the high school au-
ditorium, as city congregations
Joined the American Legion in its
annual tribute to World war dead.
In this light, the Rev. Wall de-
clared, there is no other course
open for the church than opposi-
ton to aggressive warfare.
Rev. Wall spoke on the subject,
"War Or Peace, Which," 1t is fit,
he said, to meet here to pay hon.
or to the dead and to the living.
War, he declared, is as old as the
world, the world has never enjoy:
ed a long peace, and nations will
continue to make war if permit
ted to do so.
War, he declared, sacrifices
human beings for material things
it destroys ideals, destroys morals
breeds fear; while peace only is
constructive.
He declared it to be his belief
that a nation could not promote
peace by preparation for war, but
only by preparation for peace
The attitude of the church is clear
on the subject and is expressed
in the number Of resolutions on
the part Of churches opposing
war.
He described the three scourges
Of mankind as famine, pestilence
and war. Commerce, he said, can
overcome famine, science can OBJ
literate pestilence, but only re-
ligion can destroy war.
The service was opened by q
professional of members OF the
American Legion, Legion Auxil-
iary. and Sons of the Legion. The
colors were advanced and the
congregation sang "America," led
by j. c. Coston. The Invocation
was delivered by the Rev. A.. w.

VIENNA, Nov. 9. (UP)-The
spectre of revised frontiers as a
possible threat of war, began tax
ing shape alarmingly today as the
foreign ministers of Austria, Italy
and Hungary prepared to meet
here Wednesday.
1t appeared evident that Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini intends to
inject the issue of Hungarian re.
visionist plans into the agenda OF
the tri-power meeting, despite
Austrian opposition.
Police circles believed that
Mussolini was taking dangerous
step because all the Little En-
tente powers are ready to match
if he encourages the Hungarians
to take any drastic action for re-
covery of the lands which they
lost under the treaty Of Trianon.
There was an impression that
Mussolini's sudden backing of re-
visionist moves in Hungary was
linked with a pact made by Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler when Italian
Foreign Minister Galeazzo Ciano

visited Germany recently.
However, no one knows what
Mussolini intends to do. Questions
which remain to be answered and
which Austria hopes will be an
swered include:
Is revisionist talk by Mussolini
merely propaganda which he is
using for the time being as a
means of whipping up interest
preparatory to the visit to Rome
at the end of the month of Hun
garian Regent Nicholas Horthy, or
is it part of a carefully thought
out plan?
If the plan is a serious concep-
ton, how will it be put into oper-
alton in the event that Rumania,
Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia
refuse to consider cession Of old
territories to Hungary?
Does Italian banking Of revis-
ionist hopes in Budapest fit in
with Hitler's plans in the east, or
is Mussolini, profiting by the
present uncertain situation in
Czechoslovakia, anxious to seize
the moment to bring pressure up

OF ABSENTEES
AREDISCARDED
Petitioners Denied Motion
for Investigation Of All
Absentee Votes
APPEAL IS TAKEN.
FROM THIS RULING

Hearing the election contest,
brought last Thursday by Petit
TONERS Richard Albritton and C..
H. Roberts, the county board of
elections this morning threw out
a total of nine absentee ballots,
eight Of which were Democratic
and one Republican.
The board further denied the
request of George Pritchard,
Asheville attorney, representing
the petitioners, that q further
continuance be granted for sew
eral days in order to allow petit
TONERS to examine all absentee
ballots cast in the county and
summon all voters to question
them on the regularity of their
absentee ballots. s.,
The vote on the continuance
was two to one, Chairman l.. 7.
Dermid and L. B. Prince, Demo.
cratic MEMBERS, voting no, and
Joe Hollingsworth, Republican
member, voting for the continu-
ance.
From the ruling Mr.. Pritchard
served notice that an, appeal
would be taken to the state board
of elections.
The board took up the hearing
this morning on the allegations In
the petition filed last Thursday.
Mr.. Pritchard represented the Pc
titioners, C. d. Weeks the cleo
ton board, and R. L. Whitmire,

The board this afternoon will
proceed to certify the returns
with the changes made necessary
by the votes thrown out and in
validated. -.
On the first charge that about
so voters were placed on the reg
istration book at Northwest Hen
Jacksonville on November 2, the
board heard Carl Anders, Repub.
lican Judge at the precinct, and
X. G. Morris, who testified that o
list of voters was placed on the
registration book on the day be-
fore the election.
On motion of Mr.. Prince, the
board held that the voters were
properly registered with the
county election chairman and not
properly transferred through err
ror or inadvertance, that the yot-
ers were not challenged when
they voted absentee or in person
and that, whereas, the petition al
legged about 80 such voters, an ac-
tual list showed Is such. The vote
on the motion was unanimous and
petitioners took an exception.
A similar charge in Southwest
Hendersonville was passed over
for want of evidence by petition
ers.
It was on the allegation that IL
legal absentee voting was con-
Quoted in all precincts by nom
residents, without applications by
voters for ballots, and for other
reasons that the votes were in
validated.
Mrs. s. A. Souther, Hoopers
Creek, testified that she was vot-
ed absentee by DR.. Sumner and

was not notarized. It was shown
that this vote was not counted in

STORES CLOSED
ARMISTICE DAY
First Distribution Of Jubilee
Cash Prizes Set for
2P. M.

Although Hendersonville stores
will be closed Wednesday in OBJ
servance of Armistice day, the
first distribution of prizes in the
second annual Trade Expansion
Jubilee will be held at 2 p. M.
Wednesday as previously an
nounced.
Most of the stores, including
department stores, will be closed
all day, according to officers of
the merchants division of the
Chamber of Commerce. Armistice
day is one of four holidays usual
ly observed by merchants by clos
ing their stores.
The prize distribution will be
the first of seven to be held on
Wednesday of each week, with
the final awarding of grand cash
prizes on Saturday, December 20.
The prizes this week will be S.,
$40 and $25, the distribution to
take place on Main street. While
patrons of Hendersonville stores
have had a week in which to col
lect coupons given with each So
cent purchase or payment on ac-
count, the fact that the first prize
distribution comes on a holiday
may prevent many people from
attending, but even so it is ex-
pected that a large crowd will be
on hand when the money is gwen
away. Officers of the merchants
division have pointed out that the
first weeks of the campaign pre-
sent the best opportunities to re-
ceive prizes because of the COM
naratively small number of cou-
pons distributed. Later, many
