dog. He says it took him all of 10
seconds to figure out that he had better
keep driving and not make any false
moves. He rode the dog around the

TENANT PROBLEM
WILL Be STUDIED
Senate Bill Authorizes Com
mission to Report Back
to Legislature
DaiIs Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh. March 16-A thorough,
scientific study of the tenant problem
in North Carolina will be made in the
near future, and every effort will be
bent to have the State cooperate.
through its appropriate agencies, in
efforts to encourage home ownership.
Authorization for such a study is
contained in a Senate bill introduced
bv Senator W. S. Britt, of Robson.
The measure has passed in the upper
branch and is on the House calendar
for early action. There is apparently
no objection to the proposal and 1t ls,
expected to become law without great
delay.
The measure has the full support of
Governor Clyde Hoey. who is reported
to be taking an active interest in its
passage. Under terms of the bill the
governor will appoint the commission
which will investigate tenant condl-
tons and not only report its findings
but bend its energies to cooperation
in increased home ownership
While the tenant problem is not as
serious and vital as in a number of
southern states, it is serious enough
to demand intelligent study and action
toward its eradication
The tenant problem exists in all
sections of the state, but it is espe-
cially acute in the tobacco growing
section, where much more than half
the land is cultivated by tenants who
usually do their farming on shares
and where condition during depres-
sion days was pitiable in the extreme.
With increased prosperity for agri-
culture, the tenants are now some
what better off than they have been
for a number of years, but there is
still plenty of room for Improvement.
One of the principal planks in
President Roosevelt's program is en-
couragement of home ownership both
in the urban and rural sections, and
it is with this program that North |
Carolina now seeks to cooperate.

tell him what she was feeling or
the things that his words made
her see. She knew then, for the
first time, that her friendship with
Russell Bede, her social independ-
ence, had been in a large measure
the cause of the widening distance
between them and she resolved
that from that day hence she
would never give him cause to be
unhappy.

that mended her. Her heart was

She had never been so happy as
she was then. Joel stayed in town,
on Tuesday and Saturday nights.
The other nights he hurried out
to the country after the theater
and stayed with Janet until late
the next afternoon. They went
walking and one day they had a
fishing trip. Another day they had
a picnic.

watched with delight the joy that
Janet showed when she found a
birds nest.
"Too happy" she said. "But I

said and blew his nose hard. Janet
pretended not to see his eyes.
''Now tell me about the apart

running smoothly?"
Joel said that everything was
fine. In fact, much better than
when she was there and when she
pretended to look disappointed, he
fastened to tell her that it was not
so but that she wasn't to think of
it.
"You see you aren't coming
back for a few weeks"
"But I am! Just as soon as ]
am able to be up on my foolish
legs, I've got to get back!"
ooh, no you do not, Janet! Mar
tina and I have cooked up neat
little plan. You're going to stay
out here until real warm weather
comes. You're going to have rest
and sunshine and Martha's good
care. Jove, that woman is mar

'Who's marvellous 2" Martha
asked from the doorway.

tone that took the impertinence
out of her words.

But come back and say good night

even Martha couldn't stop me
from doing that. Before I go
you'd better hear the news that
I'm to have the spare room three

When he had gone, Janet closed
her eyes. Her lips moved gently
"Oh Lord" she said, IT thank

The seriousness of the situation, ac-

that five times as many trespassers as

number of trespasser fatalities is nearly
