New York, Aug. 4-Interview with
I beauty shoppe czarina:
Q. How do you account for the fact
that you have been so successful,
when hundreds of women have open
ed beauty shoppes in Manhattan and
banely made ends meet, or worse?
A. Well, for one thing I started be-
fore there were so many of them. And
then I always catered to middle class
women-in the beginning. Now, of
course, the rich come to my places,
but certainly I wanted women who
were neither very poor nor very rich.
Q. Why.
A. The very poor have no business
spending money on elaborate perman-
ents messages and costly lotions and
creams; whereas the very rich are
hard to please. They expect miracles.
@. Weren't you successful from the
start?
A. Oh, no. nearly starved. I
made the mistake, in the beginning,
Of promising too much. Then, when
1 had begun to get on my feet a bit
and opened two branch shops, my adj
yertising was all wrong.
@. How was it all wrong?
A. printed pictures of dazzling
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-08-04

beautiful women in my ads. women
saw these pictures and gave up nope
of ever making themselves remotely
like them. Now I make it point TO
have photographs of models who are
neither homely nor beautiful.
@. There are certain ladies, often
of Pinko stripe politically, who insist
that the beauty shop business is run
into the ground. They believe that
the damsels and matrons of the land
public prints and over the radio to
spend too much money on fancy lip
sticks and magical masks. What is
your answer?
A. Unattractive women always dis
approve of money spent on being more
beautiful. That is strange, for they
are the very ones who ought to make
the investment. When women spend
money on their appearance they give
jobs to thousands of women who 9TH
erwise might not have jobs. I don't
even consider it a ;uxury trade; a
good appearance is a necessity for
women.
Q. But don't some women squander
money on their looks which should
go to the family budget?
A. Not many. But consider the diff
ference between a wife who robs the
id to make herself ravishing and the
husband who spends it on drink. The
wife makes her husband happier, at
Least; and the drunken husband
makes nobody happier, not even him
self.
@. That is an ingenious logic. But
ell me. Do you yourself use all the
beautifully Jared and boxed prepara-
lions you sell?
A. I use soap and water. Don't
augh. I make no secret of it. The
;reams and lotions have their uses
md for certain types of skin they are
invaluable. 1t just so happens that
~ skin is of the type which responds
'est to plain soap and water.

BETTER QUALITY OF
HAY MUCH NEEDED

College Station, Raleigh, Aug. 4
North Carolinians would have more
milk to drink, and dairy farmers
would make more money, if the
States hay crop were of better quail
ity, said John A. Arey, of State Col
lege.
The extension dairy specialist
pointed out that much of the hay pro-
luced in the State is coarse and low
n food value because it is cut too
late and cured improperly.
Such hay, he added, is not only
'ow in vitamins and proteins, hut it is
also coarse and there is more waste
han when good hay is produced.
Good hay, he said, must be leafy
and have a bright green color. Most
of the protein is found in the leaves,
and bright green color indicates a
high vitamin content
The vitamin content of the milk
md other dairy products is directly
influenced by the kind of hay fed
airy cows, he continued.

Church of England rites were held
aboard Sir Humphrey Gilbert's flag
ship in the harbor of what is now st.
Johns Newfoundland. There the first
English colonization expedition to
America had just arrived.
These historians fail to take into &C

the rites performed by the priests who
accompanied the first explorers of our
Atlantic coast-the Norsemen.
The great days of the Norsemen are
not over. For the works of Knut
Hamsun still encircle the world. Not
to have read Growth of the Soil is
to have missed one of the four great
est novels of the century. Hamsun
was born Knut Petersen, 70 years
ago today. When he was four years
old, the family moved to town on
Hamsund bay. Years later, when look
ing for a nom-de-plume, he followed
the custom common among Norwe-
gians of taking a place name. "Knut
Hamsund" was the by-line he put
over an article on Mark Twain, a ty-
pical error made it HamSun, and
knut let it remain that. Consequent
ly, he today has a name that prob
ably no other person in the. world
bears. =

name for himself as a writer. In the

HOGS NEED SHIELD
FROM HEAT AND SUN

College Station, Raleigh, Aug. A.
Che life-giving rays of the sun can. be
90 hot for even a hog, warns H. w.
Taylor. extension swine specialist at
State College.
Extreme heat saps the vitality of
4 growing pig or hog and the ami
NAL cannot make as thrifty gains in
weight as it should to return the
farmer a good income on his invest
ment and work, Taylor explained.
If natural shade is not available
he added, artificial shade made with
boards, brush, or straw should he
provided in hot weather. A constant
supply of fresh water is essential also,
he stated.

AIJGrJST AN HISTORY

4
For the first seven years the only
Navy our Republic had was the U. 5.
Revenue Gutter Service, which was
authorized by Congress lat years
ago! TODAY, Aug. 4, 1890. There was a
distinct prejudice in the early days
of the republic against any regular
army or navy, for the British army
and navy had been only instruments
of oppression in the hands Of an au-
toeratic ruler The cutter service
was established to prevent evasion of
pavment of a tax on tea to the gov
eminent which came into being be-
cause Americans had rebelled against
paying a tax on tea. The service was
also given the job of insuring collec-
ton of imposts on liquors, wines, cof-
fee, molasses and pepper, which with
tea taxes, were the first sources of
revenue of the federal government.
We know our first Navy today as
the U. S. Coast Guard.
Same day Congress voted the Reeve
nue. Cutter Service-Navy into exist
ence, it authorized the first interest
bearing federal obligations. These
were DOnOS prOVluIlS 1OI Io1uAU1uS
of the domestic debt and that part
of the individual colonies assumed by
the Union, a total of $64, 456, 1868 -or
less than the deficit the government
piles up in a month now.
Largely through taxes on liquor,
which is the prime support of the
worlds governments, the entire issue
was paid off in 40 years. BY 1886 the
government had paid for both the
Revolution and the War of 1872, and
was without a national debt!

Gus service was held in the western
