North Carolina
Wants Visitors

Raleigh. April 3-tU.P)-R. Bruce
Etheridge, director Of the North
Carolina department Of ConServa~
ton and development. has $780,
900 to spend and a blanket order
to make the world North Carolina
conscious.
The 1887 General Assembly
voted the quarter-mi.lion dollar
appropriation at the insiStence Of
Gov. Clyde R. Hoey, who in his
inaugural address last January
suggeyted an exposition for the
state similar to the one held last
year by Texas. But the lawmakers
made no specifications as to how
the money was to be spent.
Etheridge, slight, gray-haired
conversation head, will move SLOW
ly. however, in spending the ap-
preparation.
Plans for a state exposition have
been temporarily Shelved. If it IS
held, 1888 will be the year.
Advisory Group Formed
Etheridge first will form an ad-
visory committee to be composed
of a representative Of each group
in the state interested in the ad-
vertising program. Thus hotel op-
orators would be asked to name
one member Of the committee, the
railroads another and the Cham
Der of Commerce another.
I'VE want every group to have
it's say in forming plans for spend
ing this money and accomplishing
our purpose in making the nation
conscious of North Carolina he
said. We will listen TO everybody
so it will not be said We are throw
ing money away
A systematic, nationwide cam
paign of newspaper and magazine
advertising is the fit item on
Etheridge's program. The states
industries and business opportuni-
ties will be explained as we'll as its
scenic and vacation features.
After this is Wen under way,
Etheridge plans a campaign to at
tract desirable industries to the
state. But he n@S made it clear
that no single group of any kind
will receive particular prominence
or advantage.
Although the idea Of advertising
the state IS frankly based on sue
cess of Florida and California,
notably. in attracting outsiders, it
is certain North Carolina'S cam
paign will be dignified.
This state needs advertising"
Gov. Hoey said, but not the flam-
boyant. spasmodiC, high-poWered
supel3alesmanship type. What we
need is intelligent, persistent and
properly directed efforts to pre-
sent the resources and undeVelop-
ed opportunities in North Carolina
to investors and home seekers"

Your Children By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

''MacK, I'm not gong lo tell you about the grass again. It has to be cut every week, and you know it."
 I'm going to cut it, mother, but you know I couldn't do it yesterday on account of the picnic, and the day before I had to go to the dentist"
 That's true, son, but it was due to be moved on Saturday. Now it's Thursday, and the Thorps are coming to dinner. The grass is long enough, almost, to bale for hay, and what will they think?"
 You pay too much attention to what people think, don't you, Nom? You always tell me to make up my mind and go ahead and not always be bothering about what people think, now don't you?"
 When You're Grown Up
 "Oh, Mack, there you go, turning it all on me when you're in wrong. You know what I mean. Suppose we kept shiftless place like the Greens. You'd hate it. Anyway, 1t isn't right for you to expect daddy and me to do everything.
 Suppose he said he couldn't go to work because there was a picnic or he had to go to the dentists, or I couldn't get meals and make beds because I had to go shopping and have my hair waved. We have to crowd the extra things in someway and you'll have to learn it too"
 Didn't I try to cut the grass Monday night? Now didn't l? And you made me come in."
 "The Smiths had just got their sick baby to sleep. It was almost dark anyway. You could have got- ten up early on Monday or Tuesday either. But the thing to do, Mack, is to get done on one day each week and be regular. I don't asl. you to do much around here, do I?''
 "No, you don't, but dad expects me to wash the car and polish 1t. And doesn't he yell, though, if I ask Pete to help"
 "Now see her, Mack. This is enough. You can cook up more ex- cuses than anyone I know. You cut Mrs. Smiths grass regularly last year and kept her lawn mower in good shape"
 "But she was paying me"

 am low in sodium, but cannot seem to eat enough sodium bearing foods to build up the sodium con- tent. Am taking calcium lactate. Is there any chemical I can take to increase the sodium in my blood and tissues? What foods are rich- est in sodium? (Mrs. c. B)
 Answer--I wonder how in the world you arrive at the conclusion that you get insufficient sodium? I know of no chemical that would supply sodium, other than common salt, and 1t is not advisable to take more salt than you get in milk, f1sh, meat, eggs. I advise you not to monkey with your sodium metabol- ism but to leave such abtruste nutritional problems entirely to your physicians judgment.

 Answer-In my judgment fresh fruit juice beverages, sweetened as you like, are more healthful than carbonated drinks.

While it's her voice which has
 won the loyal affection of num- berless radio fans, Jessiac Drag
 onette, on personal apearanee' has a vivid appeal also. The spte- and-span quality which is hers is . matter of perfect grooming.
 BY ALICIA HART
 NEA Service Staff Writer
 The girls who wore too much rouge and layers of mascara and arranged their hair in hundreds ot frizzy little ringlets just are not in sight any more. Instead, we have an array of trim, natural beauties wearing just enough rouge to give cheeks a healthy glow, Hone hlms of powder, no eye makeup in the daytime and cultures which show the shape of the head and are clean-cut and neat looking.
 It's smart to be subtly made up, very trim and exquisitely groom ed. No fastidious girl who needs girdle (and there are few who do not) waddles around without one.
 She knows that modern founda- tion garments are light and com- fortable, easy to wash and that dresses and suits are much more fiattering if the body beneath them is sleek and firm.
 Also, she takes into considera- ton the shape of her face and the type of hats she generally wears before she plans new hairdresS. She likes the way motion picture stars do their hair these days and, with few exceptions, the Holly wood beauties eSchew tight waves and corkscrew curls.
 One shining example of neatness is Jessica Dragonette, whose voice is loved by millions, and her grooming secrets include some which might be useful to vacation travellers.
 Miss Dragonette packs her fav. orite cosmetics in rubber-lmed case and always includes a tube of liquid soap and bottle of cologne. She carries net cap to protect her waves while she sleeps and rub- ber headband to put around her head while she applies makeup. This keeps foundation lotion and powder away from the hairline. The pret- ,, ty singer packs her clothes between layers of tissue paper and has quilt dsilk cases for lingerie, handker- chiefs, stockings and such. Shoes go into special little linen bags. All of this may seem pretty involved. but the fact remains that when Miss Dragonette arrives at her destina- ton, she looks neat and her clothes are in order. And neatness IS the order of the day right now. NEXT. New beauty aids,

would you keep an eye on things better? Every Saturday? Regular?"
 "Oh, nom, would you? You bet I would"
 Mack's mother looked at her son steadily for a moment. She was already giving him spending money. And the boy had almost every luxury beside. Couldn't he see that he owed some small duties to his parents, to the house, himself?
 T think" she said slowly, that you are failing to grasp a big idea. Living means work, and when you measure it in dollars altogether, you cease to be useful. How would you like to stop school altogether like Cousin John and go to work in the store? They would pay you there?"
 "Oh, I'll cut the grass, mother. Don't go preachy. I'll do it for nothing"
 "Nothing!" Mack's mother turned away and wept.
