countrywide referenda and that no IL

Tremendous Pressure.
Not the least interesting activity in

erted, by both sides upon members
who either had not announced their

adopted, calling for Statewide re-

using this amendments as a means to
Kill the bill and were hence insincere
in proposing it, since at heart most
OF those advocating the amendment
had no desire to see any liquor con-
troll system adopted f1ut wanted things
to remain as they now are in the
State, most observers here agree to-
day. A second reason for their defeat
was that almost without exception the
advocates of the referendum amend

ton has failed, that conditions in so
called dry counties of the State are
almost ifrtolerable, but yet were I'M
willing to try a new method which has
proved successful in IL counties. A
third factor in the defeat of the re-
ferendum amendment was the fact
that two years ago, during the 1885

Many Counties To Vote
1t is now expected that between 40
and As counties, in addition to the
IL counties which already have coun-
ty liquor stores will call elections in
the near future to decide whether Ii
quOr stores shall be opened and that
most of these will vote for liquor
stores. The fact that the earnings of
the liquor stores in 16 of the II coun-
ties now having them have amounted
to the equivalent of the proceeds of
a IS cents tax levied on the property
in the county, is expected to add to
the number OF counties which will call

a factor in the voting in the counties!
Under the terms of the old age pen

law, each county must levy a prop

of the cost of old age pension and
child aid, unless it has enough general
revenue to meet this additional ex-
pense without imposing another tax

those counties which do not open Ii

additional tax of about 10 cents on the

Then the letters had grown
shorter, duller. This or that had
happened at the studio. Toki had
run the station wagon into the side
of the garage and it was being

a drive in back of the garage so
that service cars wouldn't have to
use the front drive. Was their bill

He couldn't find his sapphire

taken Carol to the boxing bouts
the night before.
They were the usual letters of
any husband. They brought Janet
back to him but not to Hollywood.
That was something that she
would have to do but she prolonged
her visit because she did not want
to end the peace and joy of this
make-believe existence she was en-
joying.
''Who's Carol Griest?" Martha
asked her one day. Martha was
reading a newspaper.
Good heavens, darling! Do you

about its implications.

WOULD HAVE STATE
MAKE OWN CEMENT
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
nv Il q IA SI(LNWD WHY


Raleigh, Feb. 1.-THE State of
North Carolina would go into the rcus-
mess of manufacturing it's own ce-
ment, under terms of bill introduced
in the House Tuesday by Represent
tative Ed r. Hanford, of Alamance.
Mr.. Hanford was author of the So
called Hanford liquor bill which
would have authorized establishment
or four State distileries. This feature
was stricken out by House commit
tee.
The Alamance legislator figures it
would be t1emt. tolis saving to
North Carolina if cement plant
were established and importation Of
this important road-making material
from other states discontinued.
His bill would give the highway
commission authority to establish a
cement manufacturing plant after
careful study Of the advantages of the
entire proposal and an inspection for
the best available site. It would Der
NIT use of regular highway depart
ment funds for setting up the plant.
Discussing his measure, Mr.. Han
FORD said that cement can be manu-
1actured for 70 ceGts a barrel again ST
more than $3.50, the average price
now being paid. The plan would save
the State not less than half million
dollars annuolly, he estimates.
There is nc cement plant, either pri-
vate or public, in the State, he points
out, and there would lie absolutely
no competition between the Statel
owned and operated plant and anv
domestic plant manufacturing for
private sale, even should one be later

Raleigh, if they stayed in the capital,
by proponents or opponents of the
measure. Most of this sort of pressure
was used by the drys.
It was doubly obvious in the Senate
chamber before Tuesdays session con-
vened and especially during the ten
minute recess taken after the bill had
been called up in order TO permit
friends and foes Of the bill to divide
time
Then groups OF earnest advocates
surrounded those senators who might
possibly be converted at the last mi

seemed TO IKE It. Mrs. PaynIer,
who had only to touch button in
her own house and have servants
bursting out of all the doors to
wait on her! Well, women were
funny.
Mary picked up the mixed salad
and put it in the ice box.
Janet folded the corner of her
bedspread the way that her father
had taught her to do it, as it was
done in a hospital. She surveyed
the placement of the pillows crit
ically, pulled one a little higher
and regarded her work.
Martha sat in a wicker rocking
chair and watched her. When
Janet turned toward her, she
would have masked the pity in her
eyes.
Janet didn't look at her. She
went out into the hall and came
back with a long-handled dust
brush and worked hard for the
next few minutes searching for
non-existent dust.
Don't you think we should have
some fresh flowers ?" she asked,
and looked toward the bright
sweet peas in the little china
holder.
Martha said yes, she thought so.
She knevy 49, vet wanted an
excuse to so Gown to the garden
end pick the flowers.
She knew that Janet wanted to
go to the market and buy a chick
en- for their dinner. She knew that
Janet wanted to scrub the floors.
She knew that Janet was playing
house. That all the things her
money had deprived her of, she
was finding by proxy in the home
of another woman. And it made
her heart ache.
There was nothing that she
could say. She tried once to sound
out Janet on her domestic life but
Janet, fierce in her loyalty to Joel,
would tell her nothing except to
touch upon the beauty Of her home
and the competence with which it
was run and how much Joel liked
it.
"Why don't you and Joel get
little place back here?" she said
on another occasion. '"Then you
would have it for a place to come
to on your vacations" She didn't
say it was a place where Janet
could come to be herself.
Janet explained that the studio
didn't want them to have ties so
far away from California. So
much was expected of them, she
said vaguely. And all that Martha
could do was hope that Janet could
be inveigled east to see her.
Now that she had her, she didn't |
want her to go back to the coast.
Janet was the only affection that |
Martha had and she had a moth
er's heart for the girl.
Janet had said she was going to |
stay only fortnight but Joel, in |
his vague letters, had insisted that |
she stay on. He was not as i'm
pressed with the little theater as |
Janet had hoped he would be, but |
he was glad that she was enjoying
herself and urged her to stay.
At first his letters had been filed |
with little things that were lover
like. Little things about his miss
ing her. He had nothing to do. he |
