Everyday Lining
GLASS HATRED
BY JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

1T is impossible for ne to do more than
skim the papers. just for lack of time"
writes a reader. But your piece about the
sit-downs caught my eye and | read every
word of it.
"To tell the truth, it was the most signiti
you would write more of the same sort. You
surely put your pen on the spot in the case.
when a famous labor leader uses such
words as these in speech to a university
luncheon club, as reported the other day, it
is certainly time for protest from coast to
coast:
1--WE take the Stand,' he said, that we
have nothing in common with employers.
We subscribe to the belief that if the en-
ployer is not in business his products will
still be necessary. and we still will be pro-
viding them. when there is no employing
Glass;"
Wild words, wicked words they are, egg
ing on the class hatred now, alas. 50 rife
among us. They contain threat, the shake
of fist, and no problem can be solved in
such an ugly spirit.
If there is nothing in common between
employers and workers, then we are on the
edge of chaos. Men think it smart to use
such bitter words. glibIy, but they are play
ing with fire!
Any politician who fosters such spirit
for his own ends, is dcmagoguc of ihc
worst type. If he only knew it, he is max
ing ready for the Man on Horseback with
the clout.
Racial rancor, religious bigotry, class hat
red are the most dishcartcning aspects of
our age. They are the breeders of bitterness,
the mother of wars, and the makers of mis-
cry among us.
Such a spirit is the very demon of discord,
and if our religion means anything it will
cast it out as evil Otherwise we face flu
tlre dark, if not desperate, beyond words.
There is better way, wiser way, and
our people will find it and walk in it, part
nerS and not enemies

What Is the Use?

He had degrees on the end of his name
And knew several languages we'll;
He was listed in Who's Who's" pages of fame,
And he never was known to Tisspel;
But very few cried they say, when he died,
And most folks were perfectly satisfied
He played the piano with unusual skill.
And ranked as a genius in college;
Very difficult places he knew how to fill
And his head was a storehouse of knowledge:
But he never smiled when he met a child
And love never spoke when his will was filed.
-Vharles M. Sheldon.

THE author of the Penta-
MALIGNED teuch gave the serpent IN
REPTILES the Garden of Eden bad
name, and the hand OF
mankind generally has been lifted against
tbe snake ever since. Of all living things,
the snake is the most hated and mallgned.
That most snakes are harmless and are
human benefactors in many ways is fact
that makes little impress upon the general
run of humanity. A snake is snake. Here
in Eastern North Carolina with its swampy
terrain in which snakes abound, we ought
to know more about snakes. Everybody
ought to know that a nOn-poiSonOuS reptile
is easily distinguishable from the poisonous
kind by the shape of its head. The poison
GUS snake has Il flat arrow-shapcd head; the
non-poisonous snake a more rounded, snub-
noscd head.
In view of prevailing ignorance it is no
wonder that fisherman who captured an
inof1cnSivc hog-nosc snake at sea off Oregon
Inlet last Sunday easily miStook it for a
Young ratlcr or wafer moccasin. The black
and brown mottlng of the snake in ques-
ton. together with the fact that it was un-
mistakably snake, was against it.
1t was given little group on Main Street
to see an exhibition of the Oregon Inlet
rattler" in the hands of a citizen who han
died the wrigglng reptile freely. even hold
ing its head in the palm of his hand.
Don't hasten to kill every snake that looks
like RATHER; they are invaluable to farm
ers whose fields are mice-riddcn.

They bring him back all dressed
in white
With shoes and socks to match;
They pose him gr:nning ear
to ear
The tabloid papers catch.
The coppers at his side grin, too,
It's quite a gay affair
This landing of youth alleged
To kill without a care.
They pose him on a flying field,
They pose him in the court,
They stand him with a grinning
groupv
OH crime is such a sport!
They print his story word for
word,
In fact, they print it twice,
And snap him for the movies, too,
It's all so sweet and nice!
III
They take his photo as he struts
And take him sitting down;
They take him in bathing suit
And in a dressing gown.
The court officials hurry in
To make the front page. too,
AS lawyers and psychiatrists
All join the interview.
Nv
The mental experts all agog
Come dashing to the scene
Quite breathlessly to tell the
world
What all such cases mean.
A brutal murder? No! Not that!
Please such a thought efface!
The charming fellow simple is.
A pSychopathic case.

They take him riding through the
town
And call more neWsreels in;
A little dinner, then a play,
And through the park a spin:
Then on a shopping trip he goes
For it's important, quite,
That when he gets before a court
His wardrobe should be right!

The cops will help him choose
his ties
And surely it won't hurt
To have the D. AS office aid
In picking out a shirt;
Great kindness must be shown
this man
And treatment very white
For all that he is charged with is
Three murders in one night.

His autograph? Why certainly
Just form in line there, folks!
There ought to be some music
here;
Hey, sergeant, crack some jokesD |
Pile on the circus atmosphere!
let's all have one good time!

'ursueS its war on crime!

EASY fry peddlers who pay no license

or report sales taxes. he is taking on nigh
hopeless task.
Women. youths and children eager to
make little spending money are taking up
with hundreds of mail order propositions to
sell anything from candy and cosmetics to
soap and shoe polish. The mail order house
ships them one or two dozen articles to ped

they earn little loose change or premium

business. but in the aggregate it runs into

BETTER BE
ON HAND


ON HAND members of the Dare Coun-
ty Board of Commissioners
the recent arbitrary ugping of beach real
estate values for taxing purposes, are I'M
pressed by the sincerity and Open-minded-
ness of members of the Board Dare had to
have more revenue; almost everybody in
Dare was broke; the tax assessors followed
what appeared to be the line of least re-
siStance
Many owners of ocean front property are
holding building lots at $500 to $3.50. How
simple to assess these lots at one-half the
minimum value sought, and how obviously
equitable theory!
But 1t isn't as simple as that Many OWN
ers Of beach property will go broke paying
such taxes before they ever succeed in sell
ing their property at the prices they are
holding for. And while the assessment value
OF beach property, owned largely by nom
residents, has doubled and in some instances
trehIcd. resident taxpayers on Roanoke Isl
anu and IN other parts of the county have
been subjected to no such increases. No
wonder there is howl of protest from the
strangers within the gates of Dare who feel
they are the victims of gross discrimination.
But if the protestants expect to make any
headway in the matter of effecting change
OF heart upon the part of the Dare County
Board, they will have to be there in person
July when the Board will hear their conf
plants. If not possible to attend the meet
ing, the protesting taxpayer should write a
letter to be laid before the Board ON that
date. Silence in the circumstances may be
easily construed as indifference or acqui-
escence.

Wrong Sign
The wife of the Bolivian Min
ister in Washington would like to
find an international language to
prevent the sort of blunder she
fell into the with the wife of the
japanese Ambassador.
Shortly after the beauteous
Bolivian, Sonora Guachalla, NOV
ed INTO the official residence on
Massachusetts, Avenue, Madame
Saito emerged from the japanese
Embassy, just across the street,
and came to call.
Conversation between them
proved to be difficult, since Sen
ora Guachalla speaks Spanish and
French, but no English, while
Madame Saito speaks japanese
and little English, bllt no
French or Spanish.
The two ladies sat vis-a-VS in
the Bolivian parlor, and smiled
pleasantly. Finally, fearing that
she was not proving a good hos
tess, Madame Guachalla resorted
to sign language.
She looked out the window and
pointed to the japanese Embassy.
You home" she said, meaning
to comment on the neighborliness
of the situation.
Madame Saito looked blank.
Madame Guachalla again pointed
at the Japanese Embassy and re-
peated. Your home
To the little Japanese lady,
there was apparently only one
meaning to the remark and geS-
ture. The Bolivian Minister'S wife
was telling her to go home. So
Madame Saito got up, wrapped
her cloak about her, and went
home.
Perfumed Soap
Searching about for folk lore,
writer's on a WPA project in
Rhode Island found an e:.-slave,
who had lived 1G, years and was
willing to prescribe rules Of
health.
His name is Henry Johnson, of
Burrillv!lle, r. l., and he says:
When you gotta 60 SOmeWheree,
don't walk-ride. Walk moderate
and not hustle.
Eat till you're full, an never
throw the fat away.
Wash yoreself with soap that's
got tar in it. One reason people
die young is they use perfumed
soap to wash with"
Merry Co Round
Visiting the Ambassador of
Brazil is his handsome young
brother, Guido Aranha, who de-
clares that Argentine girls taught
him Spanish and American girls
are teaching him English. A
taxi drew up to the State Depart
ment, the fare" got out, paid the
exact sum due and walked away
without tipping. The driver called
after him, Hey, Mister, you for
got your bagpipes." For the
first time since IVA was created,
its Washington staff does not
have to move desks around every
time it rains. They have vacated
the wartime shacks they were
housed in and moved into the old
Interior Building. There is one
government agency that is fight
ing shy of being dubbed by
group of initials. Formerly the
Latin American Division of the
Department, it is now known as
the Division of American Repub-
lies. But ID. A. r., State Depart
