BEAUTY TROUBLE
BY JOSEPH FORT NEWTON
Copyright. 1887. by United Feature Syndicate. In

Harmer John, in the Walpolc novel OF
that name saw a beautiful blue plate one
day in a shop window. zone of those deep
blues like the sea-" He bought it and took it
home.
Then the trouble began. In less than half
an hour the blue plate made the mantlcplccc
look too shabby for words, and he went out
and bought two pictures to put alongside it..
Again, in the evening, he was looking at
the plate, and the rug in front of the fire
was SO faded that he was ashamed of it. So,
in the morning he bought rug to match
the plate.
Like fever the magic of the blue plate
spread to every room of the house, then to
his clothes, then to the view out the window.
Old ugly things had to be cleared out.
Indeed, he had "a terrible time" as he
tells us. Finally his house. which looked out
on blank wall, had to be given up. He got
another that looked out over whtcr and
trees.
AS an Eastern provcrb puts it pictur-
esquely, IF you have two loavcs, sell one
and buy lily Or blue plate, or paint
ing, or some bit of art to bless you with its
appeal.
Since man does not live by bread alone,
he must give beauty place in his life, as
we'll as cakes and ale. 1t is not luxury but
necessity if his soul is to be fed and live.
What is beauty? No one knows. 1t just
is cludin0 all ANALYSIS and its own excuse
for being. 1t is the rose on the lips of truth,
the light in the eyes of wisdom, the glow in
the heart of love.
What else can it be but sacrament of
"the living church of ancient JOY" offering
his life as lovely as the world in which he
lives?

What Other Editors Say
An Educated Man

Down in Georgia the Greensboro Herald-Journal
passes along list entitled Ten Marks Of an Edu-
Gated Man and it is thought provoking:
He keeps his mind open on every question until
the evidence is all in.
He always listens to the man who knows
He never laughs at new ideas.
He cross examines his day dreams.
He knows his strong point and plays it,
He knows the value of good habits and forms
them.
He knows when to think and when to call the
expert to think for him.
You can't sell him magic.
He lives the forward-ooking, outward looking
life
He cultvates love of the beautiful.
And he does not have to be college man or a
high school man to qualify.-Greenville IS. c.

Your Error, Mister

Your Error, Mister
Do you like the job you're hold
ing?
Would you like to stay on there?
Well, you're out of luck, for sold
ierS
They will chase you out OF there
Do the hours rather suit you?
Are you very satisfied?
Well, here comes the state militia
And you cannot get inside.
Do you want to make a living?
Did you think this was your right?
Well, the governor says "eat it,
AS he shuts the mill down tight.
Did you think you were protected
In your right to work or not?
Well. you're wrong. The politl-
clans
They can put you on the spot.
Were you told we had officials
Who would let nobody take
Law and order for a sleigh-ride?
Well, you made one big mistake.
Did you think this still a nation
Where the law held some respect
Even from the politicians?
Well, you weren't quite correct.
Did you think the right to labor
Was protected by the state?
Well you'd better wash your eyes
out
For it's not that way Of late.
Did they teach you back in school
days
Twas a government of laws
Not of men and opportunities?
Well, the notions full of flaws.
Individuals, they taught you,
Had their freedom guaranteed?
Well, the whole idea was silly,
Very cockeyed, yes indeed.
Did you think the state militia
Only came in time of mobs?
Well, my boy, you're quite old
fashioned
Now it keeps men out of jobs!

Question No. S. My husband
died. He was a baker. He was As
years old. His employer deducted
social security taxes from his
wages. Do I have anything coming
to me under the law?
Answer No. S: From the infor-
nation you give it would seem you
have. The Social Security Board
has prepared simple claims forms
to be filed by widows who believe
they have a claim for a lump sum
payment under the Social Secur-
ity Act. If you will call at the So
cial Security Board office in Raj
eigh every assistance will be given
you in filing your claim.
Question No. g.: I am a college
student and intend to take a po-
sition with bath house company
as life guard at a summer resort
during vacation. Do I come under
the Social Security law?
Answer No. 6: You do. You
should apply for a Social Security
Account Number and give the
number but, keep your card -
to your employer. The wages you
earn this summer will 60 to your
credit on your wage record kept
by the Social Security Board and
count toward future benefits.
Question No. 7: I am a carpen-
ter, 64 years old, and I want to
know what I will get out of the
Social Security Act?
Answer No. 7: 1t is assumed you
mean to ask whether you will re-
ceive any money under the old-age
benefits provisions of the law. You
will receive, when you reach IS,
and file claim, lump sum pay
ment amounting to 3R per cent
of your wages, up to $4,000 a year
from one employer, after Decem-
Der 81, 1886, and prior to the
time you become IS.
Question No. 8: I am resident
of an apartment house.
I receive no money but I get the
use of an apartment, rent free. Do
I come under the Social Security
law and does the apartment house
owner have to pay taxes for me?
Answer No. 8: You are an en-
ployed person within the mean
ing and scope of the Social Secur-
ity Act. You must apply for a So
cial Security Account Number, on
Form SS-5, which can be obtain
ed from your nearest post office
or from the Social Security Board
office in Raleigh. The Treasury
Department has ruled that the
rental value of an apartment COM
prises wages, within the meaning
of the Act, in such cases as yours.

chnerv for the conversion of logs into paper
pulp. And on nearby acres a model village

\ few miles north less conspicuous and
less costly project is under way; the State
is building thrcc-and-a-half mile bridge
across Albcmarlc Sound, to connect the
northern and southern Albemarles
Without disparagng the value of the great

that bridge across Albemarle Sound will
bring greater prosperity, more happiness

wOrkmen
After all, the biggest business in America
is the tourist business and coastal North
Carolina offers numerous lures to the mil
lions of sadaboutS who spend as they travel
Nowhere else in America can the tourist see
the site of the first English settlements and
the birthplace Of aviation.
Don't assume that we are discounting the
importance and value of the great Kieck-
hefcr activity at Plymouth Plymouth is go
ing to enjoy lot of prosperity. For which
Elizabeth City does not envy Plymouth, be-
cause when that bridge over Albemarle
Sound is completed Plymouth will be as
near Elizabeth City as Columbia and we
shall expect to see hundreds of Plymouth

Taking conspicuous part in the production

Bedtime Stories
Taddy the Tadpole.

and Mother Toad have no gills, but
lungs, even as you and I. Taddy
couldn't breathe out Of water, and his
parents couldn't breathe under water.
In other ways all the Tadpoles were
just as much unlike their parents.
Perhaps 1t is no wonder that they were
not recognized by the latter.
At first Taddy lived through luck
more than anything else. It Just
happened that none Of the hungry
folk looking for tiny Tadpoles hap
pened to hnd him q they did ever
50 many OF the multitude Of brothers
and sisters who had come from the
thousands Of tiny eggs their mother
had deposited in the Smiling Pool.
At first they had been hard to dis
cover, for they had clung fast to
weeds, but when they had begun to
use those little tails to wiggle about
in search Of food they were easily
seen, and their number grew smaller
each day.
For the first few days after leaving
the egg Taddy just chung to a weed
He didn't have mouth then. But
In few days he developed q little
round mouth and 4 wiggle in his tail,
and found use for both. OF course,
mouth was to eat with and a tail
was to swim with, to hunt for the
choicest bits of food for a never-sat-
isfled appetite. It was then that
Taddy began to take notice of what
went on around him and to profit by
what he saw. He saw several Of his
companions swallowed by . fish.
After that he kept more closely to the
weeds and away from open water.
He discovered that shadow on
the water might mean danger from
above. After that he was suspicious
of all shadows. A terrible creature,
with wicked Jaws came up from
behind and seized the Tadpole next
to him. The terrible creature was
water beetle. After this Taddy tried
to watch below as well as above and
on all sides. It just couldn't be done
all at once, for while he was looking
one way he couldn't be looking
another way. The result was that
one OF those ugly-looking water beetles
did catch him and bit OIL half his
tail.
A funny looking Tadpole was Taddy,
with only half tail. It was most
tnconvenient, too, for he couldn't
swim half SO well. He couldn't get
about so readily and quickly. Yes.
sir, it was most inconvenient. But it
could have been worse. It could have
been a lot worse. You see, that tail
was only a temporary loss, not a per-
manent loss. as would have been the
loss Of tail by any of the folks who
wear fur. Jerry Muskrat, for in
stance. 1t wasn't long before Taddy
had practically as good tail as
before. So Taddy the Tadpole lived
in the Smiling Pool and thought of
nothing but eating and keeping out
Of the clutches of his enemies.
