believe we should have pride in this "our
World"-not pride because our house is larger
or better furnished, or because our children
are handsomer or better dressed-but rather
we should have that pride which makes our
world place where friends like to come;
where young people meet for good times
where the poor may find sympathizing
friend; and the sick may look for real help.
I say frankly to you there should be no
child in any community in North Carolina
who lacks proper clothes for school when
your children and mine have plenty and to
spare
Hunt and find these children and help the
mothers I have known of the gift of two
wash tubs, decent clothes and month or
two of real help to one family, to put that
family on its way to decency and gave it the
desire for better living. Try something like
this in your neighborhood
Then in "our world" believe in control.
First, I think we need self control and then
for our children. I see no reason for our
world to be given over to things we know
are wrong. Because the rest of the world
does certain ruinous things is no reason for
us to let our world 60 to pieces.
grieve to think of what drinking is doing
to "our world" and believe in giving this
great evil no quarter.
Fortunately for me and mine am not af-
fected no matter if ABC stores are here or
if liquor is sold illegally. One thing do
know-if from little child to maturity you
will take every occasion to calmly tell your
child of the horrors of drinking and strive by
your own example to prove you are right
there are few in "our world" who would have
to be wrecked by it. You women from the
farms and your world represent the very
backbone of our state and challenge YOU to-
day to do your part.

A WEEK END OF DEATH

Nearly 100 persons met death in traffic acct
dents throughout the nation over the week
end. Had the weather been bad so that the
highways were wet and slippery, or had they
been covered with snow or ice, there would
have been some remote excuse for the fune-
rails that were held on the following Monday
or Tuesday, but the weather was ideal for
motoring and one crash followed another as
the man or woman at the wheel attempted
to break the rules of safe driving and get by
with it.
Our mania for reckless driving has reached
point where it is almost necessary for us to
make will and solemnly tell all of our
friends goodbye before we start out on an
automobile trip. Perhaps if we did this,
we might be depressed enough to attend to
our business Of safe and sane driving as we
went along.

an unprecedented observer, no harm appears to
have been done To those who favor disarma-

that end would be to junk promptly any vessel
that might become obsolete but still of some

.CULLMAN HITS
i. 5. MARINE
REBATES

A letter, quoting excerpts from
testimony taken before the sub
committee of the House Commit
tee on Appropriations was re-
ceived by Secretary Of Commerce
Daniel C. Roper from Howard S.
Cullman, of New York, in protest
to the recent dismissal of the
National Committee on Safety at
Sea.
Cullman pointed out that in
the testimony given by Joseph B.
Weaver, director of the Bureau OF
Marine Inspection and Navigation,
before the House Committee on
February 20, it was shown that
the bureau had failed to make 80
per cent of it's required ship in
Speetions and reinspections.
In an answer TO one of Gull
mans previous letters, Roper ex-
planned the lack of inspections
was due to shortage of personnel.
According to Weaver's testimony,
only $500 inspections were actu-
ally made in the 1885 fiscal year
out of a required 11,300.
Cullman also charged that out
of $1,037,584 in penalties incurred
for violation of the navigation
laws during the 1885 fiscal year,
approximately $1,000,778, or 90
per cent, was remitted by the
bureau. In criticizing the action
which dismissed the National Com
mittee on Safety at Sea, Cullman
wrote:
"TheSe are only a few of the
problems which the committee
has considered. l am sure you
will agree that the enforcement
of existing safety statutes is
even more vital than the en-
actment of new remedial meas
ures, and that administrative
policies and procedure in this
field are particularly matter
Of public concern"

Brown, Blue, Gray Ewes

According to German insurance
doctor. brown-eyed people are bad
risk, and he backs this up with OBJ
servations made during his 30
years experience, says Pearson's
London Weekly. Blue or gray eyes
are an indication Of long life, he
finds. All the brown-eyed people he
has known died between fifty and
fifty-fve years of age. But medical
specialists do not think much OF
this theory. They point out that
age itself takes the color out OF hair
and eyes. so that 3 person who
started life with deep brown eyes
might quite easily reach ripe old
age with eyes Of . paler shade.
