no beauty. You have none Of
these things and yet walk with
beauty every hour.
Once I read a verse by Nor
man Strand which defined
beauty. Here it is:
BEAUTY
Beauty is not in the bush
"Nor in the tree,
Nor in the sky,
Nor in the sea,
But something bound in the
blood
OF me-"
There is truth about beauty.
BEAUTY IS NOT OUTSIDE
US 1T IS IN US.
BEAUTY CANNOT BE
BOUC HIT OR TAUGHT IT
MUST BE LIVED.
AND BEAUTY IS THE ONE
THING WHICH ANY MAN
MAY POSSESS TO ANY MEAS
URE . AND WHICH ANY
MAN MAY EXPERIENCE IN
ANY PLACE PROVIDED
HE HAS THE UNDERSTAND
ING OF BEAUTY BOUND IN
HIS BLOOD"
A Picture
On Wall
How much of your life have
you spent envying people who
have lovely things? And yet you
can only have as much lowell
ness as there is within you, your.
self.
A picture hangs on the wall.
Twelve men see that picture.
Eleven can see nothing in it. A
few lines scrolled on white paper.
But to the twelfth man that
picture is a revelation of pure
beauty.
Seeing it, he is lifted out OF
his tired body-and his shabby
coat. He is carried away from
pain and shame and worry. And
once again he sees the salt tides
rolling in over the pale marshes
in the wide, still light of dawn
=. and hears the plover's skirl-
ing cry. and smells the sour
richness of the wild, black soil.
Eleven men see nothing. Feel
nothing but scrap of paper and
a few scrolleo lines. They would
still see nothing, feel nothing
but a little foolish pride even if
they were told that picture was
worth $4,000 and they could buy
it and hang it in their rooms.
But the twelfth man. shabby,
harassed, half-fed, finds wonder
and ecstasy and release in that
picture. He, alone, really OWNS
it and makes it part of his life.
You can have beauty. You
can have all the beauty you
want. And nothing can ever take
it from you. 1t will stand by
you through all loss and dis
treSs. It will comfort you even
by the grave.
Find Beauty
For Yourself
BUT YOU ARE THE ONLY
ONE WHO CAN FIND THAT
BEAUTY FOR YOURSELF.
AND YOU CAN FIND TT ONLY
THROUGH THE GROWTH OF
YOUR OWN SPIRIT.
Begin to. look for beauty. 1t
is all around you. It is waiting
in the commonest objects, the
simplest experiences.
In the frail network of steel
construction flung against an
evening sky.
In the afternoon sunlight
spilling through your kitchen
window. lying on pool on your
freshly scrubbed floor.
In the heave and sway of q
man driving a plow through
crumpling burrows of red sod.
In the lift and fall of 8
woman's arms as she hangs out
clothes.
In all these simple sight!
beauty waits. 1t is yours-IE
YOU CAN FIND 1T.

1t may take generations.
But that is not the presidential fun
eral.
A preface to a start is all that F.
DIS message professed to amount to.
NEW TYPE PRESIDENTS:
What the message does suggest is
that new kind Of president is called
for.
Past presidents-with the exception
of Washington and Lincoln-have had
no duty except to keep things going
Now seems to be the time when presi-
Dental initiative is essential.
Maybe Roosevelt is the requisite
raw material.
But will the next one similarly fill
the bill? Or a whole succession of
next ones?
r. y. II. HAS "IT''
Mediocre president have done in
the past.
AS implied by this presidential mes
sage, mediocrity will not do now or
for long time to come.
Whatever charges may be made a.
gainst Mr.. Roosevelt, he is not me-
diocre.
He is no more mediocre than Hitler
or Mussolini.
He may not have what we consider
their bad qualities, either-but his
personality, compared with theirs,
may be economically invaluable.

ROXBORO IS COMING
TO MEET THE HIGHS
Person County Aggrega-
ton Always Formidable
and Tough for Locals

Examinations have forced the post
ponement of the game with Middle
burg Tuesday night by the Henderson
high school basketball teams, but
the aggregations will swing into ac-
ton tonight against Roxboro as sche-
duled.
The Roxboro will invade the local
court tonight for two games, and the
first appearance of a Roxboro team
here this year. Tuesday night, Hender
son will stage a return game with
Middleburg. Middleburg has whipped
both Henderson teams in a prior
meeting.
Roxboro usually puts strong teams
on the hardwood, and it is freely pre-
dicted that Henderson will be pushed
to get the edge over the Person coun-
ty teams.

The policy of the commander in

is to employ the United States naval
forces under his command so as to
offer all possible protection and assist

until it is no longer possible or neces-

This policy, based on our duties and

NEW YORK, September 24.-Heavy
selling hit the stock market today and
toppled leading issues 81 to 81 or
more a share, many leading in new
low ground for nearly two years.
Activity was pronounced at the
opening with the ticker tape falling
two minutes behind actual dealings
on the floor of the exchange. Vol
ume dwindled later and prices came
back a bit in some instances.
Brokerage explanations for the fur
ther decline varied Most, though
pointed to the deflationary aspects Of
the parley between Secretary Nor
genthau and Undersecretary Phillips
of the British Exchequer on the "hot
money" problem-foreign funds in
the United States are now around $8,-

influence.
While retail sales continued to ex-
pand. according to Dun and Brad
street, thoughts of shrinking corpora
ton profits and dividends due to
higher costs were believed to have
been factors in the stock slide.
Bonds and commodities pointed

Prominent share losers included
