The child, Mildred C. Taylor,

The way Russia has been acting is what
frightens them. Apparently Comrade Stain is

This, they say explains the sudden belligerency

HOW Lines Are Drawn
But, what the official eyes also see, through
their special gunsghts, is that if Russia goes to
the support of China, France will very likely be
drawn in through her treaty with Russia. Eng
land would be expected to follow because she can
not afford to let France lose war and thereby
establish stronger nation on her Channel door,
step.
This would mean Russia, France England and
China against japan, Germany and Italy, and it
would mean defeat for Japan Germany and Italy.

It is a three-toone bet that Mussolini will

But consider: Mussolini is entering upon rap

He has discovered the British are timid.

to ambitious men.
Khan "Great Liberal WaUe"
So you can't escape the fact that the Khan was a
great Liberal wave. 1t represented the flower Of
the South's white trash and we use the term
affectionately. Since that is whom the New Deal
aiming at in Hugo's appointment, why be
ashamed now?
That Liberal movement had it's inception with
men who only wanted to exploit these people
for the dues they paid and the sheets they bought.
But more ambitious men got hold and they rode
wide and handsome, shooting one another in their
Klankouncils and committing no end of outrages
with their spoils In Indiana a fellow even chewed
a woman to pieces These fellows had an organ
lied mob behind them and they would stop at
nothing.
Why it was not at all surprising that one who
had been so successful in mob arousing, in dema-
goguery. should move into high places in the cur
rent play.
The point will be made now that 1t was not
known that Hugo was actually member of the
Khan. There was certainly never any question that
this play upon ignorance and prejudice was his
political stock and trade. Why. it boosts him with
us to know that he paid his dues.
There is admittedly some difference between
that Liberal movement and the present one. The
New Dealers don't wear sheets but they are cost
ing us more. And instead Of making their appeal
upon religious prejudice, they use the du Points.

Z Congress Members
Want Durable WPA

Federal work relief as a perma-
nent policy was proposed last week
by seven representatives who said
they spoke for bipartisan bloc of
100 members of Congress.
They proposed also that $2,400,-
10000 be appropriated to give jobs
to 100000 men at about $67 a
month during the fiscal year begin
ming next July l.
Their recommendations were an
nounced after meeting attended by
Representatives Maverick, Texas;
Fries, Illinois; Mildebrandt, South
Dakota; Voorhis, California; Coffee,
Washington; Allen, Pennsylvania;
Eicher, Iowa, all Democrats.
The appropriation they proposed
would be about $550,000,00O more
than the amount mentioned by the
President in his budget message for
recovery and relief. To make up the
difference the group proposed that
additional taxes be levied on the
basis of ability to pay and benefits
received"

State Buys $50
New Bus Bodies
! so All-Steel Bodies and 100 Part
Steel and Part Wood Are
Bought for Schools

North Carolina bought it's first lot
of an-steel school bus bodies Friday
as the problem of transporting chill
dren to and from public schools in
safety was attacked on three fronts.
The state school commission,
meeting in executive session, recon-
mended that a portion of the $4,000
appropriated for BUSES by the 1887
general assembly be used to pur-
chase all-steel bodies, which would
be put into service on hazardous"
highways.
After receiving the commissions
recommendations the board of
awards of the division of purchase
and contract bought so steel bodies
from the Twin States Equipment
company, of Charlotte, for $566.5O
each. The bodies will be 16 feet long.
Also purchased by the board of
awards were 100 steel-and-wood
bodies, 16 feet long, from Jerome
Bolick and Sons company, of Con-
over, at $398.5O and $50 steel-and-
wood bodies, 10 feet long, at $410.50,
also from Bolick and Sons.
The International Harvester COM
pany, bidding from Charlotte, was
awarded the contract to supply $50
chassis with an 188-inch wheelbase
at 1925 each and $50 chassis with an
155-inch wheelbase at $685..
When assembled, the units will
form 800 buses. All other bids on
BUSES were rejected as too high by
the board of awards. Proposals to
supply the state with 400 additional
steel-and-wood school vehicles will
be opened April Fl and canvassed
the following day, Frank L. Dunlap,
acting director of the purchase and
contract division said.

Suggestions for
Spring Motorist

Winter is always hard on a car.
Often it must be left standing for
hours in the cold Frost, snow, and
dirt are part of its winter diet. In
order to put the car into shape for
the most pleasurable spring and
summer driving several things
should be done.
The radiator should be drained
and flushed in order to insure a
clear flow of water through the
cooling system. Motor oil should be
changed and new lubricants applied
all around. The carburetor and fuel
system ought to be checked care
fully for warmer weather. Brakes
! should be tested, and particular care
should be given to the steering ap-
justments will be all that is required
to put them in perfect running or
der. The importance of brakes and
steering gear, however, makes it
mandatory that they be checked be-
fore being subjected to any hard
driving.
In routine city driving, minor ad-
jUsments may go unnoticed or may
be neglected. Often these adjust
ments remain unnoticed until the
car is called upon to work at full
power over long periods. Then they
may develop into conditions that
necessitate repair expense that could
have been avoided.
Good tires are among the most
Important equipment of an automo-
bile, for considerations of both safe
ty and comfort in driving. All tools
and emergency equipment should
be checked carefully. All lights
shold be tested, and headlamp beams
properly adjusted.
New windshield wiper blades are
inexpensive, and old blades should
be replaced if worn after a hard
winters use. The body of the car
should be thoroughly cleaned and
polished to revive the beauty of its
luster.
l. A motor tune-up is one of the best
precautionary measures that the
1notorist can take in the spring. The
battery should be checked carefully,
and the generator charging rate adj
justed for long-distance running at
good speeds. Shock absorbers may
also need adjusting, and a thorough
greasing of the chassis will add
much to the pleasure of driving.
The fan belt, which is not called
upon to carry much of load dur
ing routine city driving, should be
checked and adjusted to function
properly on longer and faster runs
Body bolts, door hinges, and latches
must be oiled and frightened to elm
mate the squeaks and rattles that
sometimes develop during the rough
winter season.
These are a few suggestions to
drivers who will soon feel the call
of the open road. If they are follow
ed, the motorist will find his spring
driving much pleasanter.
