with the many other influential
clients which he and Mclean former

appointment as manager would not

from the Young Democrats, but sue

annexed since he joined forces with
the firm of Pou and Pou here in Ra-

AS to DR.. Mcdonald, good many
are beginning to believe he may have
to act as his own campaign manager
unless he can persuade Dr. John T.
Burrus of High Point, ardent anti
sales taxer and anti-Ehringhaus adj
ministratiOnist, to manage his cam
paign.. It is known that DR.. Burrus
has been going around a goo ddeal
with Dr.. Mcdonald, and he is believ-
ed to be his principal financial back
err. AS result, quite a number think
DR.. BurruS will eventually be Nc
DOnald's behind the-scenes cam
paign manager, even if he never has
the title. No one seems to have any
idea as to who McRae will name as
his manager.

Thora. who was IN the drawing room

hall to answer it. sending nod and

than Sherman Gordon.

Thora supplied that sympathetic
subterfuge almost without thinking
She realized that Wilna's face still
bore the marks of protracted tears;
she would not wish to see anyone
Thora also found herself Specializing
about Mr.. Gordon. Did he know
about Mr.. Babbas? 1t was not likely.
Sherman stood looking down at
her, his hands thrust in his pockets,
the familiar smile quirlling the cor
ners of his mouth.
Something tells me the battle has
been fought" he drawlod. do you

were? Or who won?"
"I'r afraid that I don't under
stand"
NO? Well. it's all in the family.
Little Wilma succumbed to the
charms of some gallant across the
pond and has been afraid to break
the news to old Selwyn. She sobbed
out the sad story on my shoulder
the other afternoon. Had the nerve
to suggest that l act as ambassador
to this Ali Babba, or whatever his
Kame is. 1 told her there was moth

was planning to break the news to
him today, so / thought ia stroll by

Thora wondered invountarily if
Mr.. Gordon were as Indifferent to
Wiima's engagement as he seemed.
Perhaps he was assuming this pose
to hide his real feelings.
"Mr Babbas is expected here .
rs a guest" was her official COM
ment.
Eyes? Well, in that case, I've got
quite job ahead of me, fancy. For
Wilma's sake, don't mind taking
this Ali Babba under my wing.
but :" The first shade of gravity
touched Sherman Gordon's tones.
"But, if he turns out to be one of the
Forty Thieves .. God help him!"
Life seemed to have entered into
q new phase, Thora Dahl thought. as
she went about her duties the next
day. The change had come about so
suddenly. Merely a. few hours ago, the
future had doomed up like some
blank wall. Now. she felt established
once more. tn re was little glow
of satisfaction when she recalled
what had happened.
Mr.. Marsh really wanted her to
stay at Fair Acres. She was glad
now that she had told him her story.
Perhaps she had been unduly sensi-
tive g. after all, she had nothing to
be ashamed of. 1t was only. her
fathers stubborn ideas Of righteous
ness that had sent her adrift. pre-
vented her from taking up the old
life that belonged to her. But she
felt that, now, she had emerged from
under q cloud of some sort and could

look the world squarely in the face.
And Wilma Marsh no longer was
unfriendly. The girl had come to
before OF her own accord. There had
been nothing effusive about Wilma,
but she had been frank and unre-
served. Mr.. Babbas would arrive the
next day but one, reaching Fair
Acres in time for dinner. There were
various arrangements to make. But
Wilma showed no inclination to be
dictatorial; it merely was a house
hold conference.
While Thora was thinking these
things over, as she went about her
duties, ringing of the telephone
sent her into the front hall to an
swer the summons. She recognized
the voice at once.

Taora nodded. wondering to her
self why Wilma elected to make the
short trip by car. She herself would
have preferred to walk across the
fields on such a beautiful day. From
the open door she watched Wilma
enter the roadster, with a good
natured greeting to the boy.

For the past several weeks the

the State to another should also get

There are still few people who ap-

turned to the safety division. These
are now being turned over to high

cate the applicants and deliver the
licenses.
The task of filing the $4,000 dup

rapidly completed, with indications
that the files will be ready so that
the highway patrol can begin strict
enforcement of the drivers license
law and the inspection of drivers Ii
censes by March 1. Since November
! it has been unlawful for any person
to operate an automobile or truck
without a drivers license, but because
of the delay in getting the licenses out
to applicants and in getting the dup

of the law has been postponed. After

to persuade any of those approached
to manage the campaigns for them to
accept the job, and that this is the
reason none of the four candidates
has yet named a manager or opened
campaign headquarters.
RumOrs About HinsdaIe
For the past two weeks or so, the
report has been current that SANDY"
Graham had about completed his
managerial slate and that former
State Senator John Hinsdale of Wake
county, who managed the almost sue
cessful second primary campaign of
former Lieutenant Governor r T.
Fountain in 1882, would be Graham's
campaign manager. Since then, rum
ors have been afloat that the Hoey
forces hive also been trying to get
Hinsdale to manage the Hoey cam
paign. Reliable reports today are that
because of the local political situation
here in Raleigh and Wake county,
Hinsdale has virtually decided not to
become Graham's manager. The Ora
ham leaders here, however, are still
convinced that Hinsdale is the most
likely prospect as the Graham cam:
paign manager. But many of them
are plainly worried at the delay.
First reports from the Hoey camp
were that Hubert Olive of Lexington,
former State commander of the Amer
lean Legion, would probably be ask
ed to manage his campaign. It was
later reported that Oliver had declin-
ed to become Hoey's manager, while
still another report is that he has moi

Indicates Uncertainty
This inability on the part of at least
three of the four candidates to per-
suade any one to manage their cam
paigns Is also being interpreted by
good many here as an indication of
The present clOSenesS and uncertainty
as to who will win the nomination.
For it is contended that if any of the
tour candidates had even slight
lead Ill popularity at the present this
one candidate, at least, would not
have much difficulty in finding
manager of his choice. But the fact
that neither Clyde r. HOey, Lieuten-
ant Governor A. H. Graham, Dr.
Ralph w. Mcdonald nor John "A. NC
Rae have as yet announced their cam
p;uSn managers, indicates to many
that none of the first three is regard
ed by either the public or experienced
political observers as having any ma
lerial advantage in the campaign so
lar, and that their chances to win the
nomination are about even. 1t is also
generally agreed here that McRae IS
already a much more serious contend
cr for the nomination than he had
been regarded heretofore, since his
Inst campaign speech in Charlotte
this week III which he took mucn
more flat-footed stand on most State
issues than the other candidates, es-
pecially with regard to the liquor is

wonder if McRae may not be the

much more serious contender for
the nomination than some of the pre-
sent big three"

Disorders in Palestine Are
Dropped by the Arabs

A RABS of Palestine, who had
"A been on "strike" for ITS days
in protest against unrestricted i'm
migration of Jews, were persuaded
by the British to call off the strike,
which had been accompanied by
great disorders and the killing of
several hundred persons. The Arab
high committee issued an appeal to
Arabs throughout the country to re-
turn to work quietly, and this COM
mand was obeyed generally. Sir
Arthur Wauchope, British high COM
missioner, was said to have in
formed the British government that
it was now safe for the royal COM
mission of investigation to begin its
work of inquiring into the grievances
of the Arabs.
According to Hebrew newspaper
of Jerusalem, the Arabs have ar
ranged for backing by Italian Fas-
cists for their aspirations. Also, the
Moslem authority administering Is
lamic church property is reported to
be prepared to sell Catholics a
Christian holy place on Mount Zion.

Finds Private Debt Load

Is Not Excessive
ID ASING it's conclusions on study
- covering the period from 1900
to 1885, the National Industrial Con-
ference board finds that there is no
evidence to support the theory that
the burden of private debt upon
business is excessive. Statements
that private debt is absorbing
wealth" or is showing a changed
and unfavorable relationship to
wealth, or that the depression was
precipitated by an excessive debt
burden are without factual basis, the
board reported.
Interest charges have not outrun
the capacity to pay them, according
to the boards study, which showed
that the rates of growth of private
long term debt and of interest
charges from 1900 to 1885 were SINH
lar to those of national wealth and
national income.
Since 1880 private long term debt
has tended to decline. Only the pub
lie utilities have increased the
amount of their outstanding debt.
But the board points out that no
debt problem exists in the public
utility field as a whole and that ex-
pansion of the electric light and
power utilities has been on sound
basis, with the industry in safe
position to meet interest charges.
The steam railroads, taken as a
whole, are neither overcapitalized
nor overburdened with debt, the
board concludes.
