An Injustice

It is expected that a minority
group or the fellow that is less
fortunate than some of his fel-
loWmen will form some kind of
complex. There is very little sur
prise registered when a small child
tells a large one that you i'm
pose on me because you are lar
ger" conversely, a powerful and
often a relentless and preJudlced
people will crush an apparently
helpless group into submission.
In order to be consistent with
my first statement, permit me to
say that the complex formed by
the group in question is one re-
lating to the moral, religious, and
constitutional rights of American
citizens. The rights of minority
group that has distinguished it
self with honor on the field of
battle in the name of democracy:
a group whose parents toiled un-
der slave drivers pitileSS COM
mands. not as human but as
piece of chattel, and today the
blood and sweat from the slaves
body speak in absence OF forest
and brush that were so conSpic-
uous prior to 1920.
The United States government
in providing employment for its
citizens formulated various groups
viz, WPA, CCC, FER, etc.
Some few weeks ago big howl
went up in Currituck county-the
county of my parents, the county
that has it's share of ariStocracy-
over the merits and demerits of
transient workers. The fact there
was a difference in opinion as to
the criticism leaves one to wonder
as to the foundation Of the
charges.
1 am not questioning the rights
of free speech but do challenge
the justice of one group Of Ameri-
can citizens in inhibiting another

share in the first quarter and
S18,020,297 or $4.18 per share in
the second quarter of 1886.
Declared a dividend of $3.50 a
share, payable September 10 to
stockholders of record August 10.
This brought declarations this
year to ST a share. For all of 1886
the company paid $12 a share.
The period under review was
one of rising costs of labor and
materials, and production was in
terrupted for about five weeks, -
President K. T. Keller said in is
suing the report. The production
interruption was a result of the
strike.
The company's earnings of $6.31
share were equal to the top fore
casts in Wall Street and were
much better than many had an
ticipated. Consequently the state
ment was considered another bull
iSh item for the stock market.
During the day, prior to the
statement. Chrysler had been one
of the active issues. 1t rose around
2 points in early trading and then
eased off as the remainder of the
market turned irregular and dull
near the close. Utilities were
strong through the entire session.
Outside of the Chrysler report
market news was mixed. Carload
ingS rose $3.50 units to 770,075 in
the week ended July II but were
only 49.716 over the correspond
ing 1886 week.
Vacations in numerous plants
cut down automobile production
according to Wards reports. The
weeks total was only 88,055 units
compared with 1880 in the pre-
ceding week.
Cigarette production in the first
half totaled 78,094,812,10 a gain
of about per cent over the cor
responding 1886 week and a rec
ord high. Retail trade figures
were 2 to 6 per cent above the
previous week and 8 to 20 per cent
above a year ago while wholesale
trade was u to 20 per cent above
the 1886 period.
The strength in steel scrap con-
tinued with another rise reported
at Chicago and dealers in Pitts
burgh repeatedly having difficult
ty filling commitments. New
strength developed in export cop
per with only moderate trading.
A top of 1882 cents per pound,
CIF. European base points, was
reached after the market had
opened at 1925 cents compared
with a top yesterday of 1882 cents
per pound.

Recipes for this seasonable des-
sert vary. The standard uses al,
ternate layers Of fruit and sugar,
with topping of rich dough. Some
chefs feel that this cannot be
improved on. Others add spices
of various kinds, or grated orange
or lemon peel to give additional
flavor.
Serve these desserts with poured
cream, or a sauce made of the
fruit juice. They are best when
served warm as they come from
the oven.

the most comment, smaller hats
of various straws to wear with
sports clothes and tailored white
suits, and larger, more exotic hats
for afternoon.
The smaller hats have to be
smart. Just a hat will ruin your
costume. But the hat needn't be
extreme. You will find togo
straws and panamas with wide
bands and high crowns that are
smart as can be. You'll find little
sailor types, and so on and on.
But remember, they must con-
tribute something definite to your
costume.
The larger hats are simply
grand this year, and can do a
great deal for the gown you wear
them with. There are huge leg
horns ana milans, gorgeous
natural colors with dark bands, or
black milan with a flower crown,
or veil from even a wide brim.
They are different-yes, but SO
smart, and so well worthwhile.
NEW LACE HATS
There are hats Of eyelet batiste
and of lace, unusual enough to
make a costume out of any simple
little dress you wear them with.
They are in white to go with col
ored dresses, and should re
matched up with white accessories.
And there are hats that look like
nothing but bouquet of flowers
pinned to the front of your head.
All are smart.
A week or so ago the stores
simply couldn't supply the de-
mand for good-looking hats, but
now they are catching up, so when
you shop you will find a good Sc
lection. And in the wide choice,
you can find one or two that are
different, and that will make yea
look like more of an individualist.

There's news in the hats-or
shall we say that news determines
the character of many hats? New
est is the elephant boys turban,
inspired by the picture OF the
elephant boy which you may have
seen or will soon see. 1t has height
which is new.
CROWNS ARE HIGHER
Any hat with d Drim and a
higher crown looks new, and is
smart. You may have noticed that
brinS with piece of ribbon max
ing a crown have that ribbon
pointed or wide. so that you will
get the effect of height. Paris
talks very definitely of higher
crowns, does more than talk, in
fact, for they've been wearing
them over there for about Xix
weeks. And we can expect our fall
hats to have crowns decidedly up.
There's no news, but just as
much smartnesS, in crownless
hats and those with slit
in the crown. The newest idea
is to wear them in white if you
are a brunette, and in black if you
are a blonde-just to make the
most of the situation. They seem
to be equally popular in every type
and in every price line, which is
unusual.
