pecting to drape her life around a

She finds grief.
When the average young man
marries, he doesn't even know
how to take care Of his own per
sonal effects, much less assume
charge Of a home and family.
Since she was born, his sister
has been instructed in the duties
of a wife and mother, but has
any one ever talked seriously to
him about the duties Of a huS-
band and father?
Has anyone trained him for the
sacrifice and Self-control which
are required in the head Of the
house?
No one has.
HUMOR HIS WHIMS
Instead, it's dollars to dough

have waited on him as if he we're

Nor was this service entirely
unselfish on mama's part. She
has two motives in spelling him
besides her maternal solicitude.
Often his love for her is a COM

she missed with his father. And.

Busy With the Whitewash

Il will take more whitewash there in Washington
TO cover up the blot the record of the

from his command for telling the truth about the Admins
traton's appalling WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS.

Craig Hagoods superior apparently being chosen for the
role Of wielder-n-chief
General Craig explains that for years General Hagood has
had horrendous reputation for speaking his mind and that
he is being disciplined for this congena incorrble and
Teprehensble habit
so then why did General Craig give him full and free
permission to say wanted the congressional
ing to which ordered? Why did General Craig let
him talk at ALL if he dangerous?
THIS WON'T ''WHITEWAsH."
IT won't WASH.
Least all does the statement of Senator Metca
that General Hagoods fate discussed IN CABINET
MEETING BEFORE THE GENERAL WAS so SUNEMARILY
OUSTED.
Where does that put the responsibility?
Who is Commander in Chief Of the Army and who such
could hardly have failed know about the case and have
consented to the disposition that made Of it?
These questions highly pertinent and highly important
They call for full investigation
They cannot be answered by nnuendoes against Hagood
by silence, even by perfunctory denals
In other words they cannot be subjected to the usual
Of whitewash-much the Administration evidently
No attempt has been made to discredt the TRUTH of
General Hagoods testimony because every American knows
that what he said IS true.
Outrageous dcator vengeance has been wreaked him.

Another Commission

Another compromise and another commission TO
select an airport site for the National Capital!
That seems to be the total result Of the conferences
which have been in progress for about year between
the House and the Senate airport bills that both
bodies passed in the last session.
AND THAT PUTS THE AIRPORT PROBLEM
RIGHT BACK WHERE IT WAS A DECADE AGO
WHEN THE FIRST COMMISSION WAS APPOINTED
TO SELECT AN AIRPORT SITE FOR THE Ma
TIONAL CAPITAL
Shelves could be filled with the records and reports
Of commissions and committees that have investigated
the subject.
If there is single fact regarding the matter which
has not been brought to light by one commission or
another that fact must indeed be elusive.
The first group to study the situation developed the
most important fact-THAT THE NATIONAL CAP
ITAL DOES NOT HAVE DECENT AIRPORT AND
THAT NATIONAL BUSINESS REQUIRES THAT
ADEQUATE AIR TERMINAL FACILITIES BE PRO
VIDED.
Since the discovery of that fact long years ago. politics.

And, standing in the inclosure,
as insenSitive as an OK, with no
comprehension, apparently, OF
what that temple had meant to
his very race; to the mighty peo-
pie from whom he had descended,
was a modern Maya, a dull, dumb,
half-stupid creature of the jungle,
whose forefathers had be en-
crushed by the Spanish Conquis-
tadores and made into beasts Of
burden; who had lost tune and
touch with time and tradition
these people who once were wiser
than the ancients Of Egypt.
I thought of this curious expert
ence as 1 read the other day Of
new discoveries made in Guate-
mala, in Peten, in Yucatan and in
other regions where the Mayan
empire once spread. And the
eternal mystery Of the origin Of
that people and Of their fate re-
CURED to plague my imagination.
Whence came they, indeed? I?
From lost Atlantis? From Egypt,
as their very temples and monu-
ments might indicate? From the
other side of the world? No man
knows. Nor where nor why they
went.
We think of Rome or Greece
as ancient. But the rise Of the
Mayan empire came long before
NebuchadneZzer fed upon grass Il
his madness.
OLDEST KNOWN
There are Mayan ruins 1r
Guatemala 5000 years older thar
the Pyramids or the Sphinx
They are the oldest structures yet
found built by men. Over the
Intel of the great doorway Of q
palace in the jungle-strangled
ruined Mayan city of Tikal there
is a date which gives the year OF
the coming of the Mayans to
America as 1902 before Christ
They may have crossed over
from the lost continent Of At
lantis on a land bridge which
probably existed thousands Of
years in the South Atlantic. Their
dim and distant forefatherS may
have been kin to the very ancient
Egyptians.
/ In some respects their culture
exceeded: our own. Their knowl'
edge Of astronomy was so pro
found that they predicted; to the
accurate minute, eclipSes and
celestial conjectures that were to
occur thousands of years after
the whole race had vanished and
their cities had fallen in ruin
| They possessed engineering
secrets lost to the modern world
Without any machinery what
ever, without even knowledge Of
the wheel, they moved huge
masses of stone and granite
pieces weighing as much as SOC
tons, over distances up to zoe
miles. They Sculptured beauti
fully in granite, yet no tool has
ever been found. OF all theil
women, we have knowledge oi
only one, and she a Queen.
At Palenque, there is a beauti

years ago. We do not know why
The secret is buried in the jungles
Back in those hot savage jungles
of Guatemala you come upon slow,
dumb creatures who claim some

Shy, fearful, stupid, creatures

And clasps her to his arms;
Lifting his shield between he drives away

POSSIBILITIES


Some believe that sunspots have
something to do with depressions
hard times. The great French
scientist, Able Moreaux, looking
through his telescopes and ponder
ing over his charts in the ObServ-
atory of Bourges, speaks to the
world this warning:
Beware of 1886 to 1887"
A sharp increase in sunSpotS Is
due for these two yaers, and In
such periods, says the Abbe, we
often have wars and social dis
ruptions.
He points out:
'When there is q minimum
solar activity, the world has
been at peace while periods of
maximum activity seem to
create q nervous tension that
causes peoples to fall upon each
other in mad and savage strug.
giles. As solar activity aug.
mentS, causing strong magnetic
deviation, there seems to de-
veIOp a strange fever that
takes possession Of humanity.
Sometimes this fever begins
somewhat before the maximum
is reached, as was the case of
the World War in 1914"

mar will thus be able to foresee

ing back and waiting for other states

Farm Income Recalled.
In 1884, the tobacco farmers receiV-
ed about $130O0O,00O for their tobacco
including Genefit payments, and in
1885 about $125000 900, due to the in
creased crop, which was in excess of
100000, 900 pounds. If so steps are
taken towards controlling production
in 1886, indications are that the crop
will amount to 9O0,O00,OO0 pounds, of
which 600,0OO,000 or more will prob
ably be grown in North Carolina, ac-
cording to the latest estimates. This
will probably bring prices down to 10
cents pound, with the result that to-
bacco growers would get only about
$50 900 900 for their 1896 crop as COM
pared with 25,000,000 for their 1895
crop and $130OO00OO for the 1884 crop,
or $65,OOO,O0O less than they received
in 1885 and decrease buying powe:
that much over the entire State. Many
contend this would bring chaos to
North Carolina and a return of 1888

growing demand for some action 10y
