BREAD IS INCLUDED
IN TAX EXEMPTlO
Sales AS Low AS 10 Cents
VIII Be Taxed AS Now, "
However, House Rules
Daily Dispatch bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
nv j. T.. BASK ITRVILL

Raleigh, Feb. 12-Bread will not be
subject to the sales tax and will be In
the list with nine other exempted com
modities, il the House and Senate
abide by the amendment adopted to
the revenue bill late Thursday which
was proposed by Representative j. B.
Vogler, of Charlotte. The House also
adopted another amendment by Rep
resentative Vogler which changed the
finance committee recommendations
that the sales tax should not be I'M
posed on sale of less than Is cents.
The Vogler amendment provides that
the sales tax shall start on sales OF
10cents, as at present The commit
tee had recommended that the sales
tax be imposed only on sales OF 10
cents or more.
Both of these amendments were
adopted without record vote and
with only scattered opposition. Vogler
maintained that bread was just as
much basic necessity as a flour,
meal, sugar, SALT molasses, pepper,
lard and the other exempt "basic
foods" He also pointed out if sales
under Is cents should be exempted
from the tax that merchants who de-
pend largely upon small sales such
as drug store operators, small goods
stores and grocery stores, would lose
heavily, since they would have to pay
the tax on these sales in the aggre-
gate, just as they do now.
An amendment by Representative
w. l.. Lumpkin of Franklin county,
to exempt pillow points from the sales
tax was defeated on a record vote
40 to AZ, and only after three MEM
bers had changed their votes from
AYE" to mo-. An amendment by
Representative Wilson, of Forsyth
county, to exempt work shoes, work
clothing and several other articles
from the sales tax, was defeated with
out record vote. Another amend
ment by Representative Sentelle, of
Brunswick, to permit merchants to
include the sales tax in the selling
price without indicating it as a sepa-
rate tax was also defeated At pre-
sent, they must add to the selling
price, but are not required to men
ton 1T as separate item.
Two other amendments by Repre-
sentative Vogler, of Charlotte, one to
permit cities to impose the same tax
on chain stores as the State imposes
and to permit cities to tax peddlers
$3.50 in addition to the State tax, were
defeated.

happy that nothing in the world
would be real to me but that one
thing.
All of her senses responded to
the desire that filed her. She
thought of the indescribably deli
cate texture of a little baby's
hand, and her fingers tingled. She
thought of the sweet smell of a
baby's body and her throat ached
with longing. She heard the sigh
of a baby and it was a sound so
soft it might have been the rustic
of an angels wing that she alone
heard.
There in that darkened theater
she experienced things she had
never known. Little things that
time had passed OIL to her from
generations she had never known.
They were memories that had been
born in Felicity Burns and in every
woman because every woman was
once the baby of another woman.
Memories that make a woman
catch her breath as she looks at a
sleeping baby because that baby is
far away from her, so close to the
infnity from which it came. In
them there was tenderness, oh, the
kind Of tenderness that be she y
poet, she can never put in words.
And there was fear and the u1ti-
mate in fulfllment. There was
wonder at the past, at her part
in the present, and the tinneless
hope Of the future.
Janet thought of the things she
had seen in the children's shops.
The tiny, tiny garments, the soft
f1annels, the coats and bonnets too
beautiful for a doll, but never quite
good enough for the miracle a
woman's own baby is.
In those passing few minutes she
had furnished a nursery in blue.
It would be in blue because, of
course, her baby would be a boy.
He would look exactly like Joel.
He'd have long legs for a baby be-
cause Joel had long legs. He'd
have play yard and none of those
with too low fences because moth
ing must ever happen to him. He
would have no dangerous toys. Oh,
dear, babyhood doomed as a difficult
time!
Then, when he was big enough
to ride horse, he'd have a little
riding habit like JoePs. He'd swim
and play tennis. Probably he'd
play football when he went to COL
'aege. Joel would want him to go
to college in the east. She and
Joel must save their money be-
cause there might be another de-
preston and she wasn't going to
have her son experience the lean
years as her Joel had.
SuDposing there were a depres-

sion and young Joel had a wifeg
And Janet and Joel were not there
to help them?
Janet had herself an orgy Il
thinking there in the theater.
In a briefer time than it took
to show the Menone picture, Janet
had lived the babyhood, childhood
and youth of a son she didn't have.
A child who wasn't yet, one who
had appeared merely in the gossip
column of a newspaper.
She was worrying over the child
hood ills and dangers of a baby
she wasn't even having.
She laughed little. Out loud,
dryly.
Menone was sitting at her left.
He bent toward her pleased and
whispered, did you like that gag?
I was afraid it didn't go over"
She whispered back, cit was a
very funny gag, Tony, but I don't
think your audience would appre.
ciate it."
That night, for the first time in
the two and a half years of her
marriage, Janet was thinking of
what she wanted and not what was
best for Joel. She couldn't re-
member when she had first consid.
cred her wants. Every move, every
party, every cultivated friendship
in the picture colony-and even
back in those six months in New
York-had been made for Joel's
comfort and Joe1s advancement.
He hadn't been selfish accepting
them. In his way, and his way
had been sweet, he had repaid her
over and over again with his i'm.
mediate acceptance of whatever
she suggested, with his little devo-
tons and his expensive gifts.
Joel would not now deny her
what she wanted more than any
thing else in the world.
Darling" she said. "I think ]
remember now where Harriet got
the idea. I did say something about
all of us-the girls mean having
children some day. I didn't mean
that I was, but I want to. Please,
Joel, let's have a baby!-. We can
afford it Yow!"
Joel flung his cellar and tie on
her chaise lounge.
THAT'S what you 7 think! We
can't! Wertiem sent for me as soon
as I got in this morning and flung
that column in my face. He laid
down the law. No babies for the
time being! He's grooming me for
the biggest box Office draw in pic
ture history. Your husband, Mrs.
Paynter, is the popular American
lover. No domestic notes at this
time, please"

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY:
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1937-02-12
CHAPTER IS

THE NEWSPAPER that Joel
handed to his wife was folded so
that Harriet Casey's gossip column
was face up. She read noncha-
lantly.
"Oh, the Tracys have bought
NelPs house." she said, reading
down the column.
go on" Joel said.
She read that Joe Clinker, the
comedian, has presented his baby
faced leading lady with diamond
ring. And that Myrnita Deland
was planning east for the opening
of her picture.
Then she saw the item.
1.-THE Joel Paynters are going to
have baby! We heard the news
from Janet at the charity bridge
held yesterday at the home of
Christine Doolittle."
Janet had to reread the item
three times before she was sure Of
what she read.
"Ill be darned," she said incred-
ulously.
You'll be darned? What about
me?"
Janet didn't answer him immedi-
ately; she was trying to remember
something. Harriet Casey did not
often make mistakes and she GER
tainly didn't manufacture her news
items. Something was beginning
RI htI1 w. %1A rs
Janet's mind. What was it that
she had been saying when Harriet
came over to the table? She re-
membered Harriet asking her a
question rather breathlessly when
she was playing her last hand.
She had guilty feeling that she
had said something that might
have led Harriet to her surmise
but when she looked up to tell Joel
about it, she had time only to whis-
per, 'It isn't true, darling"
She might have said more and
she might have spared herself the
pain she felt stab her quickly when
she saw the relief on JoeFs face.
It was the, entrance of Tony
Menone and Larry Kelton, two of
Joers cronies, that. interrupted
anything else she might have said.
She and Joel were not alone
again until late that night. Tony
insisted on taking them along to
a little movie theater twelve miles
out of Hollywood where his latest
picture was having a sneak pre-
view-that is the preview to see
how the public likes the picture
before it is released.
After that they had to stop at
somebody's house for a niglt-cap
and after that Joel had forgotten
the incident once his fears had IN
dispelled.
/; But Janet had not forgotten, and
in her breast her heart beat with
things it had stirred up. Later a
cold fury, a sick disappointment
and a deep resentment was to
cause her to rebel but never to
speak, for Janet lad learned to
school herself against anything
that would threaten her happiness
and the smooth continuity Of her
life with Joel. She meant that
continuity to continue in spite of
all the odds against her. All of her
chances were based on the one slim
thing that was JoePs love for her.
And Janet knew that love was
something that is not given and
left in keeping at win.
She sat there in the darkened
movie theater with her eyes on the
screen watching the antics of Tony
Menone which convulsed the audi
ence, but she couldn't have told you
single thing she saw.
She was thinking. If I were GO

proDhets OF Despair

There are pesSimlsts who make
speeches and write books about how
the future holds no promise, and
about how there are no new from
tiers, no new horizons toward which
America can march. And there are
others who say that if we are to
move forward at all, we must scrap
our time tried ways Of doing things
and start all over again with a new
system.
Charles F. Kettering, who heads
the research division of General
Motors, has an excellent answer
for persons in both those groups
He is an excellent illustration of the
progress an individual can make
for he was born a poor farm boy
and now is president of one Of
Americas biggest corporations. He
says:
Suppose, for each year since man
kind has been able to write, we hao
a letter on file expressing what peo-
pie thought of the past and of the
prospects of the future. Let Us
90 back and pick out letter some
where along the line, don't care
where, and open and read it. This
letter would read like this: We
don't see how the world got along
in the old days because they had
none Of the things we have, but
we don't see much possibility of inn
proving things in the future.
Kettering gives an even more apt
illustration by quoting letter
written In 1906 to the Winton Au-
