New York, Oct 12-Probably more
money is wasted hurting unnecessary
press parties" every year in New
York than the combined efforts of
the WPA, the racket G. ars, the theat-
rical angels" and the towns good
time Charles are able to dispose of
in the same period.
Press agents foster the supersti-
ton that as soon as they get hold
of an account for flock of movie
stars of brand of lip smear they
must shell out for a large fiesta in
one of the swank hotels, to which
numbers of newspapermen and recip-
rocal press agents are summoned. Of
course the movie company or the
manufacturer of the lip smear foots
the bill.
The theory is that the scribes, in
vited to these jamborees and piled
with watery cocktails by walters
dressed like footmen who follow the
Crown Carriage, are likely to return
to the office and pound out eulogies
on the stars or ship mention of the
cosmetic brand into their effusions .
But what actually happens? The
slaves of the late Mr.. Mergenthaler's
contraption either consume so many
of the watery cocktails that they can
not remember by whom or for whopa
the party was tossed, or else they get

Columbus Day, Monday, Oct. IL
Fraternal Day in Alabama. Farm
ers' Day in Florida. Mercury in perl
Columbus Day is not a national
holiday in the u. S.; it is IN rs otner
nations.
Oct. IL, -Christobol Colon, call
ed Columbus didn't discover America
Not this date anyway. If the date OF
his landing on an unidentified island
in the West Indies be calculated &C
cording to the Gregorian calendar, as
are Christmas, Washington's Birth
day, etc., now then Oct. 81 should be
observed as Columbus Day.
And he probably wasn't an Gen
oese as you'd always been told, but
one Giovan Colon, a Catalan who
for political ard religious reasons
changed his name to Christopherens
Colon when he went to the court OF
Ferdinand and Isabella, sovereigners
of CASTLE and Aragon, after a futile
attempt to interest King John II in
an expedition to find a new sea route
to India. John voted the proposition
because the geographical information
Columbus submitted with his plan
was Anticipated. Paolo Toscanelli, OF
Florence, had long taught that the
world was round and that another
hemisphere existed.
Columbus undertook the expedition
to get money with which to equip a
crusage to recover the Holy Sepul-
chre. His agreement with Ferdinand
and Isabella stipulated that he was
to receive 10 percent share in the
trade he established between Spain
and the East through the new sea
route to India he set out to find.
He thought he had found it when
it laid eyes on the western continent
for the first time. His discovery OF
a new hemisphere was an accident.
1t is a matter of doubt just where
he did land for the first time. It is
schooltext tradition that the place
was San Salvador (Watling's Island
in the Bahaman group but it couldn't
have been.
There wasn't much for Columbus
to get 10 per cent of, but he certainly
got far more out of his explorations
than is indicated by the ridiculous
historical statement that he received
only $50. The ledger of his first voy-
age was found at Palos after three
centuries, and showed that the trip
cost approximately 100000. Colum.
bus received repeated advances OF
5000 or more maravedis from the
court exchequer, and he offered 10000
maravedis reward for the first sight
of land.
Why are all these newly establish,
ed facts about Columbus at such va
rance with previous teachings con
corning him? Prof. Romulo Carbia Of

What Do You
Know About
North Carolina?
BY FRED H. MAY

1. When was the first teachers as
ISOLATION formed in North Carolina?
2. What were the views of Nathan
lel Macon on national appropriations
for improvements?
3. What was the first peace society,
for world peace, established in North
Carolina?
4. Up to 1885 how we'll did the leg
islature have complete control over
all State affairs?
5. What is the per pupil cost of
transporting school children?
6. When did the per diem of the
members of the legislature amount to
more than all other State expense?
ANSWERS
1. July %, 1881, at Chapel Hill. The
call had been issued to meet on the
day before commencent at the
University.
2. Macon was congressman and
then senator from North Carolina
from 1871 to 1928. He opposed appro-
priations for improvements. In 1918,
on this subject, he wrote a constituent
BE not led astray by grand notions
or magnificent opinions; remember
you belong to a meek state and just
people, who want nothing but to en-
joy the fruits of their labor honestly
and to lay out profits in their own
way"
g. April Fl, 1919, the Raleigh Peace
Society oranized at Raleigh This
was shortly after the Napoleonic Pc
riod in Europe. The annual meetings
were to be held on the Monday after
Independence Day.
4. Until that time the legislature
controlled state offices. The governor
was elected by the legislature. So were
the other state officers, including
judges and even the justices of the
peace.
5. For the year 1933-1934, total of
100000 school children were transport
ed to and from school, for the entire
term, at a cost per pupil of 500.
6. This was the case up to about
1885. There were no public schools, or
institutions, except the University,
and no appropriations were made for

counties in which it has never been
possible to get the women organized
before.
II have received a letter from Mrs.
Charles w. Tillet, Jr of Charlotte.
former vice chairman in charge of
women's organization work and now
director of the speakers bureau for
the women's division of the National
Democratic Committee, telling me
that we have been able to organize
Democratic women in counties this
year where it had been impossible to
organize them in previous cam
paigns,' Mrs. Spillman said. Most of
these are western counties, a number
of which have been formerly regard
ed as being close or even Republican
and where the Democratic women
have never before taken any active
part in campaigns. But this year they
are organizing and going to play a
very important part in the campaign"
Scores of countrywide and district
wide women's meetings have already
been held and more are scheduled
from now on, Mrs. Spillman said.
Within the last week or so county,
wide meetings of Democratic women
have been held in Randolph Moore
Burke, Pitt, Nash, Lee, Rutherford
Alexander and Mcdowell counties,
while meeting for all the counties
in the first district was held in Ber-
tie county. A special meeting for wo-
men was held in Carthage Saturday
night ind similar meeting was held
in Asheboro Friday night.
a special meeting for the Demo-
cratic women of that city and section
will be held in Rocky Mount Wednes-
day, October ii while another meet
ing will be held in Nashville October
10. Other similar meetings are being
scheduled almost every day.

at present if it would merely allot all
IL collects from the Federal gasoline
tax to roads, Waynick pointed out,
since the government Is now collect
ing some $4O,000,00O a year more from
this tax than it is turning back to the
; State in Federal aid for road build
ing, he said.
AT the present time the Federal
government is spending about $685.
OOO,OOO year in assisting the various
states build roads, the states having
J to match this aid dollar for dollar"
| Waynick said. But this aid falls far
short of what the states really need
! both for the construction of farm
! to-market roads and for main arterial
| highways. We know, of course. that
| there will be no more large emergency
appropriations for highway construc-
ton, such as we have had during the
f, past three years and which have been
/ great help. But those of us who
have been looking ahead and study
ing highway needs, are convinced
that the Federal aid to the states
should be and can be increased to
! meet even the minimum needs for
! new and BETTER roads.
AT the recent meeting of highway
! and law enforcement officials in
Washington, it was the consensus of
most of the state officials there that
! the minimum the government should
| expend for highway construction aid
! from now on is $250,0O0,OO0 a year in
stead of only $125,OOO,OOO a year. This
would double the amount of aid now
being obtained from the states"
The construction of 5000 miles of
heavy duty concrete roads has Just
been ordered in Germany by the Ger
eminent, at government expense, as
! national defense move to facilitate
the transportation of troops and ar
tillery, Waynick pointed out. He be-
lieves the building or rebuilding of
! many of the main arterial highways
in this country at government ex-
pense would be justified as national
defense projects, in addition to their
value as peace time projects.

IT'S TRUE

Columbus got exploration ideas
from his father-in-law, Bartholomew
Monis de Palestrello, one of the most
distinguished navigators under Prince
Henry of Portugal.
Columbus was "a large man, with
a long, red-freckled face" says a de-
scription of him in a book published
in 1884. But all of the Columbus por-
traits are of doubtful authenticity
and no one knows for certain just
what he did look like.
The population of what is now the
United States was 1,115,OOO when Co
lumbus made his first voyage to the
West. That is the estimated num-
Der of Amerindians who were in the
territory now encompassed by the
States.
The discovery of America is claim
ed by the Spanish, Italians, Portugu-
csc, Icelanders, Danes, Norwegians

the Argentine and other historians
found that many historical documents
long accepted as reliable were not
authentic. Columbus himself faxed
his daily log. Bartholome de las
Casas, one of Columbus companions
forged the signature of Fernando, an
illegitimate son of Columbus, to a
book in 1885 in which he deliberately
misrepresented facts in order to dis
credit a personal enemy. This book
was the basis of many popular but
untrue legends about Columbus taught
generations of school children in the
Americas.
1t is only in recent years that his
torians have had full access to all
the historical sources in Spain. Many
avenues of approach to the truth
about the Columbia era were closed
