Maybe a fellow shouldn't DC

err. but when I attended the
funeral of a friend Of mine the
other day and saw him laid out
in a formal business suit, with
collar, tie and everything, it set
me thinking"
And what was your line OF
thought?" quizzed the Bank Clerk
Il was wondering where the
idea of dressing the dead up IN
their conventional clothes orlgl-
mated" said the Bank Clerk.
That's easy" replied the Bank
Clerk: I'VE shroud our dead IN
their best clothes because OF the
idea that they are going on long
journey. 1t is an ancient prac-
ticc. The Egyptians, many centur-

like a waste of perfectly gooo

You're quite right" aSSented
the Bank Clerk; personally l
like to think of death as a long

Blast Victim Was
Former Resident
OF Elizabeth City
Thomas HI. Russell Lived
Here Until a Few Years
Ago; Killed Yesterday

Thomas Henry Russell, 81. who
was killed yesterday when the Gulf
Lass, 33-ton Gulf Oil company
fuel tanker of which he was mas
ter. exploded at the Gulf dock in
Norfolk. was formerly a resident
of this city and has two brothers
living here now, it was learned
yesterday afternoon.
BENJAMIN F. Russell, of GIG Ce-
dar street, and Lemuel c. Russell,
of 6l5 Beech street, are the bro
theirs of the explosion victim.
Mr.. Russell was instantly killed
when the tanker exploded. Wit
nesses said they saw his body
shoot into the air for some dis
tance as the blast shot part of the
deck house upward. Russell's dead
body was fished out of the water
a few minutes later.
The accident victim was a resi-
dent of this city until some six or
seven years ago, when he moved
to Berkley. He has been boating
for many years and was at one
time a tug captain for the Fore
man-Blades Lumber company OF
this city.

VOIiua BIames Burning
of Tabernacle On Foes
Was to Have Housed Pas
sion Play Promoted by
Zionist Leader

Zion. ILL.,, April 2.-U.R)-Wll-
bur Glenn Voliva, believer in a
fiat earth and a diet of brazil
nuts and buttermilk, tonight
blamed destruction of Shiloh tab
ernacle by fire on fanatics.
The ancient wooden structure,
erected in 1902 by Voliva's pre-
decessor, John Alexander Dowie,
founder of this city and its prin-
cipal religion, was burned to the
ground today along with radio
station WCBD. The gray-clad ov-
erseer of the Christian Catholic
church said the object of the fire
was to stop presentation of the
Passion play through which he
planned to make Zion the "Ober-
ammergau of America"
The Passion play" he said,
aroused terrific opposition among
an element in this community
which have fought for 80 years.
It was in its third year and a
tremendous success and they could
find no other way to stop it so
they set fire to the tabernacle"
Another theory offered by the
Rev. Theodore Pfeiffer, assistant
pastor of Grace Missionary church
and a diSsenter against Voliva. de-
Clared that many zionists believed
the fire was a judgment OF God
against the turning of the taber-
nacle into a theater for the Pas
sion play"
Zion. a city where cigarettes
are frowned upon and the horse
and buggy is still familiar We
hicle, is split into religious fac
tions, classified roughly as for or
against Voliva.

"A very strict enforcement OF

Car Licenses
At Cut Prices
Not OtInDen1and
Heavier Buying During the
First Quarter Seen As
Reason for This

The demand for truck and auto
mobile license plates at reduced
prices since April has been much
this year than it has been in re-
cent years. according to Mrs. R. J.
Cohocn. who is in charge of the
Carolina Motor club branch office
here.
In this state, the price Of motor
vehicle licenses is cut one-fourth
on April /. one-half on July l and
three-fourths on October l. USu-
ally a good many owners Of auto
mobiles and trucks. for reasons OF
economy. do not purchase licenses
at the first of the year. but walt
until April to take advantage OF
the lower prices.
Such. apparently, has not been
the case here this year, for
through yesterday licenses had
been issued at the reduced price
for only 40 automobiles, IA trucks
and Is trailers.
Mrs. Cohoon attributes the
slack demand for licenses at re-
duced prices to the fact that so
many more licenses were issued
this year during the January
quarter than is usual.
