Dear Donna Grace: Can mOles
be removed by an electric needle?
If so, is it dangerous?
miss S. E. P"
Dear Miss S. E. P: My advice
to you is to consult your physician
about this. There are some harm
less moles that may be safely re-
moved by the electric needle, but
there is another growth known as
moles that should never be touched
except by a physician or surgeon.
Surgeons tell us these growths
are in the nature of small tumors
that may be easily removed by an
expert, but when the work is i'm
properly or half done, there is al
ways danger of involving the
healthy tissue that surrounds the
mole.
Dear Jane K: I have a chart
giving the correct weight and
measurements for girls of your
age that you may have free of
charge.
Dear Donna Grace: want to
thank you for your manicure in.

about this to stop it? IRENE"
You will find that a drop OF

Inc true TART is maze from
puff paste but almost as good
tartS can be made from rich
flaky pie crust.
You need no special equipment
for baking as they can be baked
in the rings of muffin tins. For
the open-faced tartS, a small
fluted mold is better as this gives
them a professional appearance.
The tart can either be filled
with fruit such as sliced bananas
mixed with Sweetened whipped
cream or with a custard filling
Canned peaches, cherries and
apricots can also be used.
For your pastry, use your ia
vorite pie crust recipe or try this

Spread with half of dry mixture.
Fold and roll. Add the rest of
the dry mixture. Fold again and
roll out to 14-inch thickness. Then
roll as for a jelly roll and slice
on inch-piece for each tart. Roll
each piece to fit over the back
of the muffin tin. Prick with a
fork to prevent putting. Bake for
IL minutes in very hot oven $50
degrees.
For the filling, use canned
peaches with an almond sauce

dly DuSlu6SS uuueI LdhluR,
II was the bread-winner of the
family, and managed to give my
daughter every advantage nice
home, good clothes, and an excel
lent education in an expensive
school.
"My husband died when she was
10 years old, and the horrors /
endured on account of his drink
ing and nOnSuppOrt have natu-
rally faded from her mind.
LIES DREAM
"The dream of my life has been
to see my daughter married to a
man she can love and respect, and
one who will be able to give her at
least average American comforts.
81 never expected or wanted her
to marry a rich man, feeling that
when young people help each
other and go along together, the
marriage is more certain of sue
cess.
ITO my sorrow, she has become
engaged to a man very much like
her own father. He drinks to ex-
cess, drifts from one job to
another, and has been partially
diSinherited by his own family,
who tell him that unless he
changes his ways they want moth
ing further to do with him.
81 have begged and entreated
my daughter not to go on with
this unfortunate engagement, but
she is deaf to my plea and tells
me she is capable of choosing
her own husband. She is 10
years of age"
UNHAPPY"
CHILDREN TOO INDEPENDENT
The mistakes of one genera
tion, unfortunately, never can
serve as signpostS pointing the
right way to the next generation.
The agonizing thing about par
ents seeing children about to
wreck their lives is that they
are forced to stand by in silence
and see them headed for dis
aSter.
Nothing speeds up an unde-
Sirable marriage like family pro-
tests. A mistaken sense of chiv-
airy will cause a boy to defend
a woman he would not allow his
own sister to associate with, if
it were not for his blindness.
And a girl, from a mistaken
sense of loyalty, will defend the
most undesirable of his sex.
In every young human being
there is innate contrariety, or
pure "cuSsedness, which will
urge along an undesirable mar
riage for the mere sake of "show-
ing the family"
Better not protest unless your
son or daughter invites your opin,
ion, and then do not go the limit.
Common sense objections will do
more than raving and tears.
CONTRARY HUMAN NATURE
Marriage has no monopoly in
bringing out the contrariety re-
ferred to above. Let a parent sug-
gest any profession, business or
trade, and its glamour is apt to
fade Immediately. Friends become
dear as life itself when parents
hint they are undesirable.
We can never help youth to avoid
mistakes. We can only teach them
to help themselves. And the sad
part of it is, the indirect method
is more successful than the di-
rect.
Never has a mother been able
to pass on to her daughter the un-
wisdom of marrying drunkard
and a rolling stone, nor can a
father save his son from quick
sands by pointing out the road
to him.
Youth, with no broken bones,
cuts or scratches, is eager to try
all the hurdles, although maturity,
which took them years ago. knows
all the perils and gives fair warn
ing.

EXTRA TERM COURT
HERE ABANDONED
Commissioners Rescind Re-
quest to Governor as Bar
Opposes 1t
ENFORCEMENT TALKED
Commissioners Feel They Are Unable
To Comply With Grand Jury's
Request About Mill Vii
Iage Officers
ENFORCEMENT TALKED

There will be no special term of
superior court in Vance county at this
time, as the result of the action Of the
Vance Board County Commissioners
Monday afternoon in repeating a re-
solution recently passed to request
Governor Ehringhaus to call special
term.
The Henderson Bar Association
voted at a meeting last Friday against
the special term, after the commits
sioners had already acted favorably
for such an extra court, and the
boards action Monday definitely put
the special court out of the picture.
When the October court adjourned
with a number Of so-called Jail cases
still untouched there was a suggeS-
ton from Judge w. c. Harris, who
presided, and Solicitor w. H. S. Bur-
gwyn, that a special term be request
ed of Governor Ehringhaus to dis
pose of cases of defendants held in
Jail.
The commissioners at their meet
ing Monday also discussed at some
length the matter of providing special
enforcement officers in the North and
South Henderson mill villages. The
grand jury at the October term sug-
gested that these special officers be
provided, and M. ]. O'Neil, who was
foreman OF that grand jury was call
ed in by the commissioners for con-
sultation. The board took the position
that it was without authority to make
appropriations for the special officers
It is understood that the matter will
be taken up further with Judge w. c.
Harris, who presided at the October
court and 20 whom the grand jury's
report was presented by Mr.. O'Neil
as foreman. Just what may be done
about the matter was not certain to-
day.

COLORED FAIR WAS
DECLARED SUCCESS
Exhibits Completely Over
ran Facilities; Fair
Made Expenses

The Vance county colored fair, held
at the Golden Belt Fair grounds last
week, was a financial success, at
least from the standpoint of paying
it's way, although it was not what
might be termed a "money-maker."
r. H. Hawkins, one of the managers
have sufficient funds to take care of
all obligations, and that he was max
ing settlement for his accounts as
promptly as possible.
A noteworthy feature of the fair
was that the exhibits offered for dis
play were, like those at the Golden
Belt Fair the previous week, so num-
erous that there was no room for
their showing and many had to be re-
jected. It was estimated that twice
the available space could have been
used, and as it was the regular booths
were cut in two and used in that
manner.
Hawkins said the exhibits were
very much improved over previous
years, with many new ideas carried
out in the designs. He said there
was on every hand evidence that the
fair was achieving it's real purpose,
namely, stimulation of community
pride and enterprise.
The fair manager said cooperation
in the undertaking was general, in
Guiding that by the white friends of
the undertaking, and he named espe
cially c. M. Hight, secretary of the
Golden Belt Fair, for his courtesies
and considerations.

LITTLE SCRATCHING
REPORTED AT POLLS
Weather Conditions First
Part of Day Ideal for
Getting Out Vote
LITTLE EXCITEMENT
Contrast Noted With Primaries of
Last Summer; Many Women
Taking Part in BallOting
Throughout the Country

T. very heavy vote was being cast
today III the gen al election in Vance
county ard carly H. the forenoon poll
officials estimated that the balloting
at that houl was well ahead of that
III the primary of last summer
Tie voting was carried on without
the hullyburly and rush and excite
mcnt that I ,tti ed the primaries last
summer. That was because there was
no contests between candidates as
such, but rather between parties, and
the Democrats are so vastly in the
majority in this county that there was
very little Sight.
The whole problem in the election
in this county was in getting out the
vote, and, judging by the extent of
the baloting in the forenoon, there
was little to worry about in that re-
spect.
There was little evidence of rush,
but a steady stream Of voters flowed
to the ballot boxes throughout the
day.
Many women were taking part in
the voting. They appeared very much
in earnest about having their opinions
recorded and went to the polls early
and late and all through the day,
along with the men, and cast their
ballots.
So far as could be ascertained there
was very little ticket scratching, al
though by no means were all of the
votes regular throughout. Nothing de-
finite could be learned in advance of
the actual count but there was talk
that a trifle Of the disappointments
of the June and July primaries would
be evident in the baloting today.
Nutbush precinct, smallest in the
county, was through its voting JOB
and at 10 o'clock in the morning re-
ported with it's entire vote-31-cast
for the straight Democratic ticket
throughout, with a safe margin for
all of the proposed constitutional
amendments.
The polls close at sunset, which is
little after 3 o'clock.
In mid-afternoon reports by wat
cheers at polling places were that the
vote to that hour was heavier than
for the corresponding period in the
June primary, and one said it was
"all for Roosevelt
This same source said there was
very little scratching of the ticket. He
said, however, that some ballots had
been seen that were marked on the
State ticket only for Hoey for gov
ernor, with the other offices left
blank. There were very few Republi-
can votes being cast for any one, To-
cal, state or national.
The only difficulty in counting the
vote was expected to be in the stray
Cling -allots that were not voted
straight necessitating going thro-
ugh all of the individual ticket.
Late in the afternoon there was
little indication as to the fate of the
proposed constitutional amendments,
other than the vote in Nutbush.

LEGION PLANS FOR
ARM|ST|CE EVENTS
Major Stem To Speak; Ex-
tend Membership Drive;
Army Man Speaks

Final plans for observance of the
anniversary of the signing of the
Armistice were outlined to members
of Henderson Post, No. so, of the
American Legion, at the monthly
meeting of the post last night.
1t was definitely announced to the
members present that Major Thad
Stem, of Oxford, would be the speak
err. A barbecue will be held at $50
p M, in the .armory of Company c,
followed by the address by Major
Stem. There will be no dance this
year, as in the past, it was stated.
The post also decided to extend the
membership campaign until Armistice
so that the present paid-up member
ship of 165 could be increased as
much as possible.
After the business of the meeting
had been concluded, a short but in
teresting address was heard from
Lieutenant-Colonel Johnson, senior in
structor in the officers reserve corps,
stationed in Raleigh. He was present
as a guest of Captain T. S. Kittrell.
