Spring Dance" Philip Barry's gay farce about college life, opened Mon- day night at Post Road Players sunni mer theater, in the Hand school, Madison, with Margaret Perry of stage and screen flame, in the lead- ing role. The play was delayed be- cause of difficulty with the lighting, because of the storm, but soon got of to a gay and humorous start.
 The action took place in late May In Q small house near the campus of a girls college in New England, and the settings, designed by L. L. Gold wasser, were particularly good. Young love, its trials and tribula-

NEW ROAD MAP
GUIDES DRIVER
MILE BY MILE

Minneapolis, tUP)-The inven-
tive genius of Harley G. Webster,
Minneapolis artist and cartoonist,
may prove the salvation of the
harassed motoriSt who cracks an
elbow every time he opens his
neatly folded" road map.
Webster has worked out a de-
vice which is designed to automat-
ically move a trip map as the
motoriSt drives along.
No larger than the average fold
ing camera, the device, which is
electrically operated from the car
battery, is placed next to the rear
vision mirror where it can be seen
by the mCtoriSt and passengers. A
miniature motor moves the map in
proportion to the average rate Of
driving speed of the car.
A miniature lamp throws light
on the moving map to enable the
motorist to see it clearly both
night and day. Webster said the
trip road map used will cover
routes from 100 to TOO miles and
may be easily changed.

Not everyone can be an individ-
uali2t and blaze his own trail to
fame. Some of us are better fit
ted for falling into line as part OF
an organization. James A. Farley's
rise in politics is an example OF
the rewards which may come to
the good lieutenant.
Farley was born in 1889 in
Grassy Point, N. Y, small vii
lage on the Hudson River. There
were five children, and the father
was a saloon keeper. When Jim
Farley was ten years old, his
father died and his mother start
ed a combination saloon and gro
Gerry atore. The boy often tended
bar or worked as grocery clerk on
the other side of the store.
Through these jobs he learned to

ago. Sirloin is 40 cents a pound
compared with As cents a year
ago.
Atlanta-Retail costs of fresh
meats have risen about 8 cents a
pound in the past II months and
about cents pound in the past
month. Pork chops have moved
from 35 to 40 cents a pound in
less than 80 days. Poultry prices
have risen about cents a pound
in the same period. Produce price
is about the same as last year al
though corn is harply higher, 25
to 80 cents a dozen ears now
compared with u to Is cents a
ago"
DallaS-Food prices in the past
year have increased about 10 per
cent. One chain store operator
said: Advancing prices for live
stock, scarcity of certain food
stuffs and higher cost of labor
have caused the price jump. Pro-
fits are much lower than a year
afo."
Chicago-Retail food prices
have advanced in accordance with
sharply advancing prices in
wholesale markets. Choice beef
wholesale is ST per cent high
er than year ago and pork
about 40 per cent higher. Choice
beef in 1886, for instance, sold
wholesale from $3.50 to S14.50
per hundredweight and today is
quoted from S21 to $21.50 per
hundred while choice pork loins
last year were Is to 16 cents a
pound and this year are 10 to 20
cents a pound.

rier signals" picked up by four
stations.
These signals, last of an inter-
mittent series, were not definitely
established as being from the
Earhart plane, and there is no
positive proof that any of the
numerous signals purportedly
coming from the fliers, were au-
thentic.
The last authentic signal was
received while the plane was in
the air, it's fuel near exhaustion
on the 2,550-mile flight from Lac,
and although the position given
was not clear, Navy photographers
estimated the plane was then
about $50 miles south or southeast
of Rowland.
This area has not been search
ed, although the Colorado's three
scouting planes cruised over about
$4,000 square miles of ocean along
the equatorial stretch just south
of Rowland. They reported no
trace of the fliers.
Although the search has not
brought a trace of the fliers thus
far, naval experts pointed out
that in the absence of a definite
position, the vessels which have
been in the area since the filters
were lost have been handicapped
by lack of equipment.
"Since we have no position, ;"
a navy spokesman explained, lit
would be sheer luck if any of the
planes or vessels were to locate
the plane. There are approximate
ly 350,OO0 square miles of water
to cover.
when the Lexington gets on
the ground it will be a different
matter. The planes aboard the
aircraft carrier can cover the en-
tire territory in two or three days,
and if the flierS are still above
water there is very good chance
they will be found"

Rarely do even adult penguins

Why, is not definitely known. Many
explorers have carefully nourlshed
penguins halfway back from the
Antarctic only to see their charges

Even in their native habitat, pen
gums don't lead soft lives. There
is the vicious skua gull to eat the

1906, he was employed as a book

Spontaneous Combustion

Coal mines, grain elevators and
farmers barns are commonest
scenes of explosions and fires. Spon
taneous combustion does the trick
with gases formed by accumulated
coal dust, the same with stored
grain and improperly cured hay,
The biggest bang in history was the
eruption Of the volcano on Krakatoa
island in SunLfa strait between
Java and Sumatra. In August, 1889,
it started series of explosions
which lasted SO hours and could be
heard 5000 miles distant. Rocks
were hurled II miles and gigantic
waves devastated nearby coasts,
cs'ising 1000 persons to perish.

ahead. He won the top political
plum in the United States, post

SPRU|LL ADDRESSES
BANKERS SESSION
Declares Business Recession
Brought on to Modify
New Deal

Asheville, Dec 11.-(AP)- Frank
Spruill, of Rocky Mount, president of
the North Carolina Bankers Associa-
ton said here today that the recess
sion in business was the result of a
concerted effort on the part of busi-
ness interests and newspapers to
force modification of the New Deal.
Spruill, president of the Peoples
Bank and Trust Company, at Rocky
Mount, related what he said was the
experience of veneer plant in that
neighborhood. The plant, he said, had
orders on hand to keep it busy for
several months, when, almost stimuli
taneously from various parts of the
country came instructions to hold up
the orders. The orders were not can
celled he added, but were subjected to
delay.
"Now why" he asked, these con-
Germs all over the country with con-
tracts calling for use of veneer, stimuli
taneously could not use it?"
The banker predicted that the re-
cession would wear itself OUT There
are now signs, he said, that the down
ward trend is slowing up in North
Carolina.

TWO ROXBORO MEN
IN GEORGIA CRIME
c. 0. Whit Shoots Self AS
Officers Approach; Hub
ert Davis Surrenders

Augusta, Ca, Dec. II (AP)-One of
two men who held up a filling station
at Wrens, Ca, killed himself when
police cornered him after an automo-
bile wreck.
The second man crawled from I'M
der the car, hands over head, and sur
rendered.
Police Captain George Holds said
the man arrested gave his name as
Hubert Davis, of Roxboro, N. c., ad-
mitted holdup, and said his compan-
ion was C. o. Whit, of near Roxboro.
C. H. Reeves said the two men
drove into his place, held him up, lock
ed him in a rest room, and took $13
from the drawer.
He kicked his way out and notified
Charles Brown, of Wrenn, who in turn
notified the Augusta, police.
Lieut.. Jesse Powell said when the
automobile did not stop, he fired punct
uring the gasoline tank and a tire.
Police said the driver drew a gun
and shot himself through the head
after the automobile ran into a barri-
cade and was wrecked. His compan-
ion then surrendered.
Holds was checking to determine
whether these two were part of the
Bill Payne gang in North Carolina, OF
of a gang, which recently escaped
from Sanford, N. G.
