mournfully certain antiquated
automobile which had known joy
rides-aocent on joy-with her in
college. Joyrides which had often
ended in the Dugout for hamburg
ers and coffee -.
CHE paused listessly to watch a
~ half dozen hamburgers frying
on grill just beyond the string Of
squads still on their spit, turning,
turning. And she came to with
a start of recognition. Here was
none other than the grill which had
less than an hour ago turned out a
minor masterpiece in steaks!
And here oh wonder of wond-
ers, horor of horrors emerging
casually, was Miss Ann Gillette's
fiance.
"Oh-it's you! Hello, there" Then
he laughed aloud. Say, beautiful,
why did you run away?"
II didn't run away! I just
we'll, just left"
well, anyway, I'm glad you came
back!"
Molly frowned and wiggled one
toe against the cardboard, to assure
herself that this was no dream
world. She said coldly:
Il left because had to give your
fiancee's purse pack to her."
"Really?"
What do you think?" she asked
definitely. "You didn't think I'd
keep it just because I paid for my
dinner with part Of it, which I'll
pay back when"
He just stared at her for a mo-
ment. Then he tucked an ample
hand under her elbow and waited
her back into the grill. And, tell
ing herself that any moment now
she would call a cop, Molly found
herself seated again across a table
from the man who had for a few
brief minutes made blue neon
lights look rosy.

And then Molly mustered all the
self-condemnation she could lay
hold of and pounded herself men
tally behind one crisp little ear.
Why should she care if the laugh
ing young man, the tall, dark and
handsome, alone and not too hard
boiled young man, was another
girls sweetheart? Certainly falling
in love wasn't as simple as all that
as unpredictable and unde-
pendable as itching in an unscratch-
able spot. Or was it?
'Th-thanks ever so much," she
said again. But I'll pay you back

Molly passed Roxy's Theater and

on Kings
Life Recalls Others

Since the opening of the present
century, political assassinations have
played potent role in ternational
affairs. But the historic aftermath
shows the motivating desires of the
assassinations rarely have been full
filled by the act.
The attempted attack Thursday
upon King Edward VIII of England
was preceded by scores of other such
deeds, most of them ending in death
or injury, during the past So years.
Just before the present century be-
gan, King Edward VII, then Prince
of Wales, was fired at several times
while going by train through Brus-
sells.
Attempts were made on the lives
of Premier Mussolini of Italy and
Lenin of Russia. AsSassiI1s sought to
kill Presidents Franklin d. Roosevelt
and Theodore Roosevelt.
But death has come to these heads
of state:
King Humbert of Italy, 1900.
President William Mckinley, 1901.
King Alexander and Queen Draga
of Serbia, 1908.
King Carlos of Portugal and
Crown Prince Louis Philippe, 1908.

Gypsy Rites Over
Dying Queen Was
Shock to Hospital

WASHINGTON, July II. Queen"
Ruby Mitchell, of a Gypsy tribe said
to be on its way from Charlotte to-
California, died last night in an
Alexandra hospital.
Not her own tribal people, but
rowdy Alexandrians made carni-
val of her dying moments. So shock
ing was the demonstration inside the
hospital and on the grounds outside
that police twice interviewed and
dispersed the mob of about 500, only
after threatening to call out reserves
and arrest all they could for disor-
derby conduct.
Across the street from the hospital
the John Mitchell Gypsies had pitch
ed their own "wailing wall" They
knew Queen Ruby was dying and
they were carrying out the orthodox
prayer and incarnation. Their vivid
appearance attracted the curious.
Word spread that the queen was
dying.
Soon the corridors of the hospital
became so crowded with goggle-eyed
thrill hunters, that the hospital staff
could not function properly. Police
were called and cleaned out the cor
ridors.
This only led to a more revolving
exhibition outside where men, boys,
and even women, tried to climb up
and peer into the first floor sickroom
where the bronzed leader of quaint
people was breathing her last.
At this display hospital officials
demanded that the police act and it
was then that IL officers called to
keep order, threatened arrests.
Queen Ruby died at 9 o'clock in
repose, the frightful clatter ended.
Before death came members of the
queens court bearing lighted can
dies entered the room and admins
tered the final rites. Garlic and other
herbs were rubbed on the stilled
woman'S breast.
Queen Ruby will be given simple
Catholic rites and the body will be
taken to Petersburg, Va, for burial.
Gypsies believe that the dead re-
trace their steps in the three days
after death and that on the third day
they return to the scene where life
ceased. The final ceremony is plac-
ing a glass of holy water on the
windowsill in the death room on the
third day after death to cleanse the
heaven-bound spirit.
The Mitchell tribe numbers $50
and are Braxilians. They are en-
route to California where they will
make copper articles for several
months, and then take to the open
road to sell their wares.

Shorter Hours Seen
as Hope for Workers

Commissioner Tetlow of the BIZ
luminous Coal commission in Wash
ington Tuesday described shorter
work week for coal miners as the
only remedy for unemployment re-
sulting from steadily increasing
mechanization of the mines. Tetlow
is in charge of a miners rehabilita-
ton study being conducted by the
commission.
He said installation Of cutting and
loading machinery in mines was in
creasing at such rate it would
cause a so per cent displacement of
workers within two or three years,
and asserted there had been Is per
cent displacement in the last 10
years from the same cause.
Tetlow expressed belief that not
even a return to industry's former
production level would help matters.

NORTH CAROLINIANS BUY
UNITED STATES BONDS

WASHINGTON, July 18.-With
Uncle Sam as their banker, hundreds
of North Carolinians are going to
post offices and quietly purchasing
United States Savings bonds which
at the end of the 10-year maturity
date are worth one-third more than
purchase price.
AS an example of the vast amount
of money that Tar Heels have been
soaking away at their post offices,
they have invested $4,748, 962.50 in
these bonds for the 14-month period
from March l, 1885 to May l, 1896,
or $1.18 for each person in the
State. In South Carolina 81 ,627, 725
was invested or 80 cents per person
in the State.

FARMS AND GARDENS

the most effective and inexpensive
terrace outlet channels in the Ala
nance erosion control project, ac-
cording to w. P. Elam, agricultural
engineer.
On number of farms in the area
these grass waterways are retarding
the velocity of water and preventing
erosion damage.
The meadow strip, according to
Elam, need not be designed by any
definite formula, but must be plan
ned properly to take care of the
maximum amount of water likely to
flow through the channel. Make
them plenty wide, he said. Special
lists of the State College Extension
Service say that meadow strips have
the additional value of producing a
hay crop.
Meadow strips constructed during
this season of the year are seeded
temporarily to summer grasses, which
have a quick growing season and
form an excellent cover until more
permanent sod can be established.
If terraces are constructed before
a permanent sod is established in
the meadow strip outlet the water
from the terraces should be diverted
from the strip by means of diver
sion ditch.
Evidence that meadow strips are
adapted to Helena and related soils,
which are predominant in Alamance
county, is the fact that great num-
Der of natural meadows are to be
found in the section.

Answer: Unless there is heavy
infestation is difficult to determ-
inc the presence Of internal para
sites, but where the birds are heav-
lily infested there is usually an ex-
tremly heavy appetite, the birds are
thin and often a leg weakness will
appear. Where these conditions APP
pear it is safe to assume that the
birds are infested. When the birds
appear listless and there IS any
doubt as to the trouble it is best to
open up several Of the subnormal
birds and examine the intestines for
worms.
Question: At what age should
/ breed my young heifers?
Answer: There is no arbitrary age
for breeding heifers. This is usually
determined by the maturity of the
animal. Heifers that are fed grain
literally in addition to the roughage
will mature more rapidly than those
on limited grain ration. Then, too,
the bred has bearing on the fresh
ening time. Jersey and Guernsey
heifers, if properly grown out, should
be bred to freshen from "a to 80
months of age. The Holstein and
Ayrshire heifers should freshen
when from q to 80 months old.
Question: How can I rid my
rose bushes of the small lice that
are killing the plants?
Answer: The aphis of plant 1ice'
can be controlled by the application
of 40 percent nicotine sulphate
spray, or by applying a dust made
by mixing IL ounces of the nicotine
sulphate solution with two pounds
of hydrated lime and eight pounds of
busting sulphur. The 40 percent
nicotine sulphate is commercial
mixture and, when used as spray
should be mixed with water at the
rate of one teaspoonful to three
quarts of water. The small insect
known as the thrip is also particu
larly harmful to roses and may be
controlled with the same insecti-
cides.
