State for one year and a resident of
his or her precinct for four months
prior to the date of the election
and Fl years of age.
If a person has moved from one
precinct to another within the same
county within less than four months
before the election, he may vote in
his old precinct and does not need to
re-register, Secretary Maxwell pointed
out. But if a voter has moved from
one county to another, he can neither
register nor vote unless he has been
a resident of the new precinct in the
new county for at least four months
preceding the date of election, Max
we'll said
All those who registered for the pri-
mary elections last spring are regard
ed as properly registered for the gen
eral election, unless they have chang
ed their places of residence since that
date.
+ "Any voter who has any doubt as
to whether he or she is properly re-
gistered, should go see about it at
once" Chairman Winborne said.

Elaborate Program For
Highway Modernization
In State Being Planned

unpaved space between the two lanes
is usually wide enough to prevent the
glare from the headlights of cars in
one lane from bothering drivers in
the other lane. The danger of head
on collisions is also eliminated since
there is no center lane for passing,
such as is the case with three-lane
highways.
Accordingly, engineers are now
making a study 10th of the right-of-
way between Lexington and Spencer
and of the differences in cost in or
der to find out if it would cost very
much more to build a dual highway
one into a 80 foot, three-lane high
way. It is already the belief OF sew
cral of the engineers in the depart
ment that the cost of building sec
end highway of 18 or 20 feet in width
parallel to the present highway would
not be much reater than the cost OF
widening the present 18 foot highway
to 80 feet and that even if the cost
was slightly more, it would be justi-
fled by the greater safety of the dual
type Of highway.
"There is no doubt that the dual
highway is much safer and that it re-
duces the danger of accidents very
greatly, while the three lane high
more dangerous than the
two lane roads," Waynick said. "The

CHAPTER rs

KIM, GO back to Kathleen who
ioves you. Don't let me make
another mistake in this misguided
life of mine. I can stand hurting
myself as I have but I can't stand
hurting this girl who has been
such a friend to me. I love Kath-
leen, I only like you. I was stu
pid, laundering, selfish in my
anxiety to escape from myself and
took the chance you offered me.
Now, I will make a sacrifice, be-
cause I want to right the wrong I
have done.
This Alix said over and over to
herself, an incoherent sort of
prayer.
She knew the move that she was
going to make. The move that
would lose her the last thing she
had, the last affection that meant
much to her. But she couldn't see
any other way.
She knew that had she thrown
Kim and Kathleen at each other,
each would have run away. The
seemingly simple way was impos-
sible.
You'd never have guessed what
she had in mind in the next few
weeks. She was a different girl.
She was gay in a hard, bright,
determined way. She wanted to
go places, to do things. She
chatted with Kim on the telephone
She made him take her to Coney
Island and put on supreme act
of having a mad, merry time. If
it perplexed Kim, he said nothing
of that perpleXity.
She wouldn't go to any of the
philharmonic concerts. The sum-
mer before they had sat together
entranced under the stars at the
stadium, drinking in the SYM
phonies they both loved. Now she
wanted dance music. She wanted
to go to parties. She gave par
ties, KEPT her apartment filled with
people.
When they had gone, she washed
glasses and plates, restored the
place to order and too frequently
found herself staring blankly at
an ash tray she had held in her
hand for an hour.
She was not hard and gay then
She was soft and hurt with the
sharp pain that pierced her side
and made her feel she was crum-
bling within.
Sometimes she cried great sobs
that tore her apart while she
called out for the one who was
separated from her by more than

WASHINGTON'S REPORTS
Washington has not so large a pop
ulation of politicians now as when
Congress is in session.
The Woodworking politician spends
most of his time in his home state or
district, making political medicine"
Still, he visits the capital occasionally
to check up, and he brings the news
from his home folk in with him.
This furnishes a nationwide assort-
ment of reports of local prospects.
I'm not sure that Washington isn't
the best spot from which to view the
whole picture.
F. ID. II. FACTORS
For one thing, Roosevelt has SO
large "bloc" of guaranteed southern
electoral votes that it is a practical
impossibility for him to fail to scoop
in enough elsewhere not to return
him TO the White House.
For whatever it may be WORTH
there is the Don't kill Santa Claus
cry also to be reckoned with.
And then, it has to be recognized
that the unpopularity of the last
Hoover regime is not forgotten. In
deed, it is questioned by strategists
whether the last Republican presi
dent as a campaign spell-binder was

tine ocean that stretched between

them.
One by one the pictures came
out of the past to flash before her
as though her memory were a
camera with a shutter exposing
her pitilessly to them.
Pictures of a girl and a man
standing by a lily pool, posed
against big, red moon. Pictures
of man at the wheel of long dark
car with the wind blowing the
brim OF his hat back. Pictures
that twisted her heart with a
sweet, agonizing poignancy.
Those nights she cried herself
into merciful slumber.
There were others when she lay
dry-eyed and stared into the flu
ture. And woke the next morning
cold with the heaviness within her
and did not know that another
summer had come.
But the girl who cried or the
girl who was wrapped in mantle
of dread was never the girl that
Kim saw.
She wanted Kim to see this new
girl that she pretended to be. She
wanted to be girl that he could
forget, dismiss forever as unim-
portant to him.
It was the only way she knew.
She was puzzled that he never
reproached her, never mentioned
the change in her.
But if he didn't, there were
others who did.
Her work suffered. Three times
in one week she made mistakes in
reports she sent to Bill Warner.
She quarreled with Kleermann,
dared to criticize the decor of a
room he had done.
It was part of the Warner adj
vertising plans to offer free dec
Grating service to purchasers of
their product. Alix herself had
done many of the rooms. She had
enjoyed doing them, hadn't minded
Kleermann's showing the work on
her. But her nerves were frayed
and Kleermann was handiest for
the explosion that had to come.
Kathleen had not been in town
much Of that summer. She found
reasons to make motor trips, to
weekend at Easthampton.
Alix knew her reasons.
"You ought to have a vacation"
Kathleen said to her kindly on one
of the rare occasions when she
was in New York. "Alix, you look
very tired. You're thinner"
Its just the summer" Alix
said.
II don't think it is. I think
you're being too gay. Why don't
you take it easy? You don't want
to be worn cut when you and Kim
leave for Mexico. Kim tells me
he's planning to go in August.
suppose that means you will be
married very soon?'
Alix knew how it hurt Kathleen
10 ask that.
So Helen Preston, Kim's mother,
hadn't told Kathleen that Alix had
said she wasn't going to marry
Kim!
Kathleen, are you going to be
in New York, Sunday?"
Something stabbed Alix when
she saw Kathleen look away. She
knew that Kathleen was seeking
an excuse, a way to avoid her.
II don't know, Alix. I'll let you
know"
Alix put her hand-it was
whittier than ever-over Kathleen's.
please stay" she said, urgently.
Her glance said, II need you and
promise you this time you will
not be hurt"

by the greater safety of these double
roads. And if there is any highway in
the Statew hich needs a dual road
way, it is Route 20, since it has the
heaviest traffic in the State. The traf-
fic on this highway all the way from
the Virginia to the South Carolina
line is heavier than that on any other
road in the State, averaging from g.
500 to $500 cars a day. But we are
unable to tell now what we will be
able to do next year and the year
after, since we do not know yet how
much money we will have available
for new construction and moderniza-
ton of highways
Eventually, all of Route 20, should
either ice widened or made into a
dual highway all the way from the
Virginia line, just below Danville, Va,
down through ReidSville and into
Greensboro, alsa from High Point to
Lexington to Salisbury to China
Grove and then from Concord to
Charlotte, Waynick said. This high
way has already been widened into a
30 foot three-lane highway from
Greensboro to High Point and into a
40 foot highway from Charlotte to
Gastonia, while a new cutoff is now
being built around China Grove,
Lands and Kannapolis from just
above Kannapolis to Concord, for
through traffic. But lack of funds
has made it necessary to do this work
a little at time in very small prof.
ects, Waynick pointed out
Another highway in this middle
part of the State that needs to be
relocate dand rebuilt, is Route 81
from Winston-Salem to High Point,
now an Is foot highway with many
dangerous curves, Waynick said. This
road should be Strengthened and wild
ened to at least p feet, Waynick
agrees. But so far, no money for this
work is in sight.

I'm having some people in.
-. Oh, come along and see"
That night Alix went to see
Helen Preston and found that lady
alone. Alix knew that Kim had
gone to Elmira to see the glider
exhibition.
Come in, my DEAR" Helen said
cordially.
II should have telephoned but I
was afraid you might say you
were busy" Alix twisted her
handkerchief, saw what she was
doing and stopped.
II have something I want to tell
you. I want to tell you what I'm
going to do because some day
want you to tell Kathleen. 1 will
not be able to but want her to
know that love her, that I would
have gone away long before this
had 1 known what was going to
happen. Don't tell her now but
tell her some day."
AliX said more and was finished.
There were tears in Helen Pres
toms eyes when Alix had finished.
She held out her HAND to the
younger woman. I'm proud to
know you, Alix Carey. You're
wise beyond your years, as lovely
in your mind as you are in your
face. Some day you'll have all
things and this will seem like
something you dreamed. You can
trust me. When the time comes,
I'll tell Kathleen"
Alix left feeling that one thing
was left to her.
On Sunday night Alix's gaiety
fell from her. She served her
guests with unsteady hands, did
her utmost to make her small
party a success but she didn't de-
tain them when they were ready
to leave.
When Kathleen made ready to
go with the others, Alix asked her
to stay.

said prophetically.
Then the three of them were
alone.
Alix stood before her hearth.
Her hands, which might have
given her away, were clasped be-
hind her.

not at all like the expression she
assumed, IT have something to say
to both of you. I want Kathleen
to hear it and she'll know it to be
the truth. I'd rather she'd hear
it from me than from anyone
else"
Kim prowled around the back of
the room. Kathleen knit her
brows.
I've tried to tell Kim that I'm
not going to marry him. He
doesn't seem to get the idea" (Go
on, Alix, you've rehearsed it be-
fore.)
I've told him that I don't love
him. 1 didn't want to be crude
about it but apparently I've got
to. Kim was second best choice!"
They looked at her startled.
Kathleen, you took me on as

about me. You didn't know that I
was just another ambitious small
town girl who wanted to make a
successful marriage. 1 wanted to
marry someone else who had a

Child's Gardening Book VIII Help
Adults, Too.

There has been an outbreak Of gar
dening books for children this spring.
One such is "The Gardeners First
Year" by Alfred Bates, published by
LOngman's, Green & Co.
The book is written for children,
it is true, but the directness and
simplicity of the language are great
ly to the advantage Of an adult be-
ginner. Bates takes less for granted
than any writer whose garden books
we have seen. He Is contributing
editor of a national magazine and
knows what questions people ask
when first they try to grow flowers;
these he has evidently set out to an
swer in the clearest possible way.
He makes a garden under your eye,
discussing plans and reducing tools
to the minimum.
After describing soils and plant
ing he takes up the time while wait
ing for the seeds to come up in talk
ing plain talk about flower names
and little elementary botany. He
then follows garden processes through
the summer. dealing only with things
that will blossom from seed In the
first year.
