NO EMPTY HEAD FOR ME
BY William Henry Huff
(For ANP)

BY William Henry Huff
(For ANP)
I'd rather have an empty hand,
An empty pocket, too,
Than have shallow, empty head
AS lots Of people do.
The world today is calling loud
For heads that have been trained;
Such heads, of course, reap large rewards
From knowledge they have gained.
May future children understand
When people say I'm Dead
I did not crave to fill my hand,
But yearned to fill my head.

FROM THE NURSES
NOTEBOOK

such as, "As We sow so shall We
reap" and MAN cannot live by
bread alone" and so on ran thru
my mind the past week. The heavy
thinking on my part was due to my
talk to two sick old men at Cen
eral Hospital. They are out of
touch with relatives, have no de-
pendable friends, are unable to
work and have no home to return
to when released from the hos
pital. Sometimes these forgotten
men have brought about their own
plight By poor planning and
thoughtless living. Even so, we
must help them.
One man was assisted by this
newspapers Public Service Bureau
to be placed in suitable home.
Transportation from the hospital
was taken care of by volunteer
citizen called by the social worker
at the hospital. Room and board
for this man will be paid by his old
age pension but this is not enough
to replenish his depleted wardrobe.
When the director of this Bureau
called on this man in his new home,
he was clean and comfortable. His
big worry was the loss of his cane
and the lack of clothing. A plea,
for cane and clothes was sent out.
A cane was promptly given by a
kind hearted friend of the Spokes-
man and Recorder.
Some of those young bloods at
General must be singing that old
song, / Don't Want to Get Well,
I'm in Love-With My Lovely Visi-
tors. / smile as / pass these sick
bed Tete-A-Tetes cos The Love
Bug VIII Get EN-.
I always look for Mrs. Alice
Wiley's smile and her husband at
her bedside. Mr.. Tyler Howell will
be missed by patients and nurses
for his friendliness. From the
swing he has worked up in his legs,
it won't be long. Mrs. Flo Frisco
and Leona Garfield are looking fine
after two weeks rest. Herbert Rice
nearly ran over me with his wheel
chair. He was wheeling around to
show his little gift from the
Spokesman and Recorders office.
1t is game but will help him keep
up his spelling. The stork, know
ing of Mr.. and Mrs. Hollis Dillon's
preference for boys, added brand
new one last week. This makes
four boys and one girl in their fam
lily. Mrs. Rosa Wysner was admit
ted to the hospital Friday.
At Veterans, Mr.. David Rodgers
was on the seriously i'll list again.
He has spent several years at Vet
Grams. His wife spends much time
at his bedside. Mr.. Spencer Shiv-
ers has been released from the hos
pital for the past three weeks.
There are only three of our boys
there now. They said they hope
they will not be left off visiting
lists because there are so few of
them out there. The Librarian,
with whom / had enjoyed talking
on a previous visit, was off duty
due to the bad behavior of her ap-
pendix. wanted to hear the praise
I knew she would give the Public
Service Bureau for putting more
magazines of Negro publication in
the library for our boys. These
magazines as I mentioned last
week are donated by Mr.. Herbert
Howell of the Sumner Sweet
Shoppe. The Minneapolis Spokes-
man is given freely to all shutins.

0N.S0.-The alleged. kissing
scene" between Thomas e. Elder,
57-year-old former dean. and his
secretary, Miss Evelyn Dill. in
Elders sedate office at the exclu-
sive Mt. Vernon School for Boys,
was branded false today by Rich
ard L. Watson, for 48 years the
schools supervisor of grounds.
Watson testified in Franklin
County Superior Court, where
Elder is on trial on charges Of
assault with intent to murder s.
Alan Norton, retired cashier Of
Mt. Vernon.
Story Exploded
The story of the kissing
scene," told by Norton, who said
he witnessed it through q peep
hole" he bored in the wall of
Elders office, was exploded by
Norton himself, watson testified.
He told Of a "re-enactment" Of
the episode at the school.
DR.. Cutler, then headmaster,
Watson related, sat in the chair
Of Miss Dill in the deans office
while he (Watson) looked
through the "peephole" bored by
Norton. Watson said he could
see DR.. Cutler from the waist
up"
The 69-year-old witness who, as
q youth, drove stage coaches across
Western plains, testified Norton
came to him and admitted his
story Of the kissing and embrac-
ing between Elder and Miss Dill
was not true. He said:
'tMr. Norton said to me Z see
you have helped an old man out
Of difficulty because DIR. Cutler
told me you patched the hole :.
which / made in the wall. /
said yes did. Norton, in tears,
said to me, 4 came to apologize
to you, Mr.. Watson. / have
apOlOgiZed to DIR. Cutler. have
apologized to Mr.. Elder. / have
apOIOgized to Miss Dill. I would
also apologize to Mrs. Elder, but
Mr.. E10ef WOUA0 NOT 1eC mes
TWO TAKE STAND
Before resting its case, the
prosecution presented two wit
nesses.
The first was Mrs. Grace B. Nor
ton, wife Of the man Elder Is
charged with attacking with q
shotgun. She corroborated the
story of her husband on events
that took place the night Of May
Is. She said:
"I heard the kitchen door
slam violently. Mr.. Norton
rushed into the living room in an
agitated, frightened manner.
His face even looked frightened.
What made my heart come into
my mouth was his ChOked voice
as he spoke. 1t trembled and
shook" =
The other witness was Frank
A. King, next-door neighbor, who
had not previously entered the
case. He told Of being awakened
by a loud noise-"the noise Of an
old automobile being started rap
idly. It was SO loud I was dis
guSted."

SUIT
INIMPASSE

Litigation Of more than two
years over $994.97 attachment
levied by the Palais Royal, Inc,
against household furniture and
antiques in the possession of Mrs.
Daisy B. Calhoun, Washington So
cialite, reached an unusual i'm.
paSse today when the Court of Ap-
pealS ruled that Mrs. Calhoun only
has life interest in the furniture
and no more than her life interest
can be sold to satisfy the judgment.
The original judgment was en-.
tered in Municipal Court on jan
uary 81, 1885, and shortly after
ward Mrs. Calhoun's daughter,
Mrs. Margaret s. Waring, filed q
separate suit in Municipal Court
claiming eventual title to the prop
erty. Her father, Andrew Simonds,
who was Mrs. Calhoun's first hus-
band, had left a will, she claimed,
in which she and her children were
named the eventual legatees of the
articles named in the attachment.
A portion of her claim was al
lowed in Municipal Court and she,
her mother, Mrs. Calhoun, and the
three children, then filed an in.
junction suit in District Court to
halt the sale of the remainder. The
latter court ruled that, although
the will Of Mr.. Simonds did not i'm.
mediately confer title in his daugh.
ter, still her eventual rights must
be preserved and accordingly the
department store could only sell
the life interest Mrs. Calhoun has
in the property.

today by the Anti7Saloon League
of America indicates.

patients at institutions for treat
ment Of alcoholism. The average
age of patients is several months
more than 43.
Increase in the number of pa
tients under treatment was re-

Legislature Has

House, Senate
Committee Hears Pleas for
Intangible Tax Left
With Counties

RALEIGH, Jan. 21.-Give the
counties their taxes on intangibles
but require them to pay the
states entire bill for old age pen
sions was the proposition advanc-
ed in the general assembly's joint
finance committees yesterday, as
local government officials pleaded
that further reduction of their
tax values and increases in ex-
penses would bankrupt them.
While the finance committees
heard objections to the proposal
of the budget revenue bill TO i'm
pose a state tax on classified in
tangible property to meet in
creased spending demands, the
appropriations committees down
the hall were hearing a record re-
quest for $54,000,OO0 for public
schools during the next biennium,
100000 more than budget rec
concentrations.
On the floors of the two houses
business was desultory, as legisla-
tive interest remained focused
upon the committees-finance, APP
and agriculture.
