|AMENDMENTSALL
REJECTED BUT ONE
Four Year Terms for
Sheriffs Only One To Be
Submitted in 1893

Raleigh March 19-(AP)-Consti
tutional amendments had tough going
in the General Assembly now ending
its session, though the voters last fall
approved all submitted at the election.
The only proposed basic law change
approved for submission in 1898 would
give sheriffs four-year instead of two
year terms Of office
The House approved and sent to the
Senate one to permit the creation of
a State department Of justice, but it
has not been acted on by the upper
division.
Each division received measures to
amend the Constitution to prohibit d.
version of highway funds but they
never got out of committee.
Senators defeated a bill to abolish
capital punishment and appro, ed one
to permit the legislature to decree the
death penalty for kidnapping but a
House committee killed it.
Four proposed amendments endors-
ed by Governor Hoey were killed in
Senate committee. They would have
given the governor veto power, re-
organized the State board of educa-
ton, prohibited local legislation and
abolished capital punishment.
Last fall the voters wrote changes
into the Constitution to: limit debts
of the State and political units; in
crease the membership of the SUI
preme Court; permit classification of
property for taxation; permit exemp-
ton from taxation of homeSteads up

set by Mrs. Bost is $4,000 annually
administrative costs for referred cor
tlfying and selection services to tbe
WPA, CCC, Resettlement and otbo,
Federal agencies would cost S27 nm
each year, she estimates.
Under the act, which had swift coil
ing through the Senate onlv to me-.
determined opposition in the House
the maximum monthly benefit NOV
ment to the aged would be sao ~
$3.50 a year.
A single child deprived of parenta,
support could receive a monthly nari-
mum of $40, with $12 the maximum
amount to be received by each addi-
tional child of the same family-the
total Tor any one family not to exceed
SOS monthly.
All assistance allowed would be sub
Ject to periodic review by State and
county boards and would be subject
to revision, in their discretion.
For the needy blind, assistance
could not exceed $50 a month per per-
son and those aided could not con-
tlnue an inmate of a public institu-
ton.
Certain House leaders, including
Representative D. L. Ward, of Craven,
appropriations committee chairman,
sought to reduce in half the amount
to be expended On the two-year pro-
gram on the ground it would make
necessary an additional tax on land
in the poorer counties. They contend
ed the State could assume the entire
burden of 100000 annual program.
Endorsed by Governor Hoey and
passed by the Senate with only one
dissenting vote, the measures finally
gained House approval and joined the
unemployment compensation act, en-

HARRY COOPER IS
HECKLED THE MOST
Gentleman from Cherokee Not Check
ed by That in His Much
Speaking i'm House
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
Tn tho Sir VUaI%0r HA<MY

In the Sir walter Hotel.
Raleigh, March 18.-No member Of
the House has been heckled as much
by Speaker Gregg Cherry and by
other representatives as has Harry
Cooper, but none is as impervious to
abuse, or sarcasm, or even insult, as
is the gentleman from Cherokee.
Nor is there a more outspoken leg
islator than Mr. Cooper. He has not
the slightest hesitation in standing up
for anybody or anything he takes a
notion to defend, nor has he any great
respect for committee authority or
leadership.
Tuesday night he wanted two of his
local bills taken from the calendar
committee and put on the calendar
for action:
81 don't know that any committee
has the right to kill my local bills"
he said
And bit later he heatedly defend
ed the right of Republican Represen-
tative Jenkins, of Graham county, to
legislate for his own county even to
the extent of repeating the absentee
ballot law:
II think a good Republican is better
than a sorry Democrat any day." he
shouted. "The people Of Graham coun-
ty sent Tom Jenkins down here and
he's got a right to legislate for them.
I know him, and he's a fine fellow and
every inch a gentleman"
A bit earlier he was explaining a
bill which would deprive the police
and jailer of Murphy of fees in addi-
ton to salaries. He mentioned the
fact that the police arrested "forty-
two of our men" on election night,
and said "even the city attorney has
been locked up" When a member
somewhat facetiously interrupted to
query 81 just want to know if the
gentleman from Cherokee has been
there, too," Mr.. Cooper snapped back
1--WE been in there four times" And
that ended the heckling on that par
ticular subject.
Reply to a legal question regarding
another bill he answered: "This bill
doesn't mean like it sounds"

MANY ANIMALS ARE
OF DOUBTED VALUE

College Station, Raleigh, March 10
The heavy demand for work-stock
has brought onto the markets a
greater number of animals of doubt
full value, DR.. C. D. Grinnells, veterin-
arian at the N. c. Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station, stated here today
Some of the inferior animals may
be fairly satisfactory for pulling farm
machinery, he added, yet not desir-
able for breeding purposes.
That is, he explained, low grade
horses and mules may be used for
draft animals when necessary, but
when breeding for more stock, only
good quality horses, mares, and jacks
should be used.

Brain TwizzIers By Prot. ]. D Flint

Today we have one that is neat, concise and packs wallop. A trip per, we might say, if you don't watch you step. The problem is about to be wrapped up in trim- mings.
 A workman, during the construc- ton of building, was carrying a large piece of stone which was to be used for 8 part of the ornamen- tai work. One of the many onlook- CTS had kept keen watch on the workman all during the process. Finally bespoke to him and said, Pardon me, buddy. but how much does that stone weigh?"
 Well" said the workman, it weighs g pounds and a half its own weight"
 The onlooked said. "Oh, yes, see" but after thinking moment he added, Hey, how much is that2" Can you answer 1t?

Maybe we can catch him." sug- geSted one of the avid little ad- mirers. Snatching a photograph from the desk she ran and breath lessly her friends did likewise. If his car is outside we'll crowd in"
 When all was quiet the door be- hind Pats stealthily opened. The famous Don Monterey peeked dubi- ously through the crack.
 Come in,' he whispered, mop ping his forehead "Oh, Lord" he groaned. T get so sick of it, Miss CT"
 Warren" she said absently.
 Thanks" also absently. "Is there any sane reason why should be subjected to nonsense like that? I wish I'd never seen the theater, sometimes. Girls everywhere. I can't go out on the street without a following. They whisper and giggle and point" He was so absurdly incensed that Pats bit her lips to restrain a giggle. If I leave my car I find girl in it when I come back, they poster me for autographs, even tear the buttons from my coat for souvenirs"
 Pats said nothing. She simply stood and let him rave. And he raved
 Is there no justice?" he de- manded furiously of Pats.
 No, sir
 Suddenly his eyes twinklcd and he laughed. The storm was over.
 Thank Heavens you don't ad- mire me-" he said.
 Pats wondered about this. Was it admiration she felt. Whatever it was it hurt unbearably. If that is all, MT. Monteray-' She felt so unutterably foolish saying things like that. So fiat when she longed to meet him halt way.
 That is all. What day is this?"
 Saturday"
 Pay day" Rummaging in his desk he brought out check book and Scribbled with a fine hand "Fill in your name, do you mind?' he asked I'm dreadfully stupid about names"
 AS she compiled, Pats thought, q think of him every minute of the night and day and he doesn't even know my name" She dared not look at him but his picture was en- graved on her heart; the restrained wave in his hair, his boyish, shame faced grin, the fine, strong lines of his profile.
 That afternoon Pats found a small, very charming apartment When her belongings had been ar ranged. the room put in order and rosily lighted, she bathed in the shining tub and donned her most alluring pajamas. Her hair curled her cheeks bloomed, her lips re- faxed in their own sweet curve Lounging picturesquely on the couch she waited for dinner to be sent up from the house cafe. But it would be a lonesome dinner lonesome without Don Monterey.
 Quickly she changed her train thought. Watch your step, she heard herself saying. He hates women - he dosen't know you exist. Don't be softly, Miss -er-Warren." But despite these warnings a thrilled excitement gripped her.

CHAPTER HI

In almost no time Pats Warren became the shield which stood pe- tween Don Monterey and his ador- ing public. The fact that the im- provised office soon was place of efficiency and order proved that she had successfully become the capable Miss Warren. All day the tap of Don's typewriter sounded behind locked doors while Pats tactfully handled beautifully dressed girls, sleek, perfumed women, reporters, autograph seeksr, thrill hunters, She had expected to be lonely for Trissy but instead she had only tirae for fieeting thoughts and mo- m0ntary qualifications that, the be- loved cousin and her John were happy.
 At five o'clock on her fourth day as Don's secretary, Pats went in to him with her letters. He looked up with nod and asked if loud voices in the outer office had been an in- dication of trouble.
 "A woman who wanted to paint your portrait" Pats told him in that fiat colorless tone so foreign to her own. "She was bit deter mined"
 Don laughed. When he laughed it always did something to Pats sent a thrilling wave across her senses. What would happen if he smiled at her she could only im- agine. But he never looked at her, never seemed aware of her as an individual. It was what she had wanted, yet it was so disturbing at times. AS he rapidly signed his letters, she stood beside him, al- lowing her shoulders to sag, breaking the line of her lovely figure by an awkward posture. Bitterly, she reflected, I'm as necessary to him as his tooth brush-and as uninteresting
 "Miss-er-" he began, plotting his signatures.
 Warren, patiently.
 Warren = thank you-how long have you been here?"
 This is my fourth day"
 T have accomplished more in these four days than in the pre- vious six months" His words were casually impersonal. Leaning back in his chair, he stretched luxuri- ously. Men had always scrambled to their feet when Pats put in an appearance, she had become ac- customed to masculine attentions But Don stretched luxuriously. To him she was nothing more than a smoothly running cog in the ma chinery of his life. She gathered up the letters.
 ;. How much did the agent say I was to pay you?" he inquired settling back and lighting cig- aret.
 Fifty dollars week." Pat

answered evenly, although she was still delightfully."- impressed with the sum-
 wen make it $75," he said casually.
 In spite of herself Pats took a little skipping step as she left the hotel. Seventy-f1ve dollars a week! That was more than $500 month. It meant that she could leave her tiny apartment and find modern uptown place within walking distance of he Avalon Pats beauty loving soul responded to pleasant surroundings and she wriggled with delight as she started the long homeward trip. And two days later she had an opportunity to prove to her employer that she was worth the stupendous amount | of $75 a week.
 Upon returning from lunch she found Don, who had evidently opened the barricading door for some reason, surrounded by a bevy of school girls, excited and giggling. His face was scarlet; he was angry and confused. One teasing, beautiful girl held him by both coat lapels. She had just aimed kiss at his lips and landed it squarely on his chin She was laughing hilariously while her friends shrieked with sheer excitement
 T won the bet" she carroled Five pounds of candy, You girls bet I couldn't kiss Don Mon- teray and I did it-I did it."
 Don looked as If he could glad ly slay her. He strengthened his tie and smoothed his hair. Obvi- ously the wager had not been won without struggle. He saw Pats and his expression was shout for help.
 Mir. Monteray," one of the sweet young things gushed, "wt are forming a club--it's the. Dor Monterey club" Pats got ar idea.
 T am MT. Monterays secre- tary," she said firmly and there was an instant hush as. they turned to look at her. T have his appointment book in my desk Perhaps we can arrange a meeting for your club" She tried to herd his tormenters into the office, but warily they hung back. And you will want one of his pictures, throwing out fresh bait. Come and look them over and take your choice"
 This proved too much. Photo graphs of the clubs sponsor. There was concerted rush for the of- flee. Pat threw a pile of pictures on her desk, dodged quickly be- hind the intruders and the door swung shut with comforting click of the lock.
 "Oh, Mir Monteray,' shrieked the one who had kissed him, may I have this gorgeous picture?" She stopped. Her eyes had found the solid panels of the door. Making a rush for it she bumped her nose screamed Don's name and pounded with her fists. The other girls, as one person, turned their accusing eyes on Pats.
 I'm sorry" she said graciously One thing she had learned. She must not antagonize MT Monte rays public. His box office re- ceipts depended upon just such silly adoration as this. MT. Mon- teray is late for an appointment.
