one thing we cannot elude is ourselves.
If we are to escape if we are to recap
ture the happiness we have lost, if we
are to regain the peace of mind and the
tranquility of soul we once possessed,
that serenity must come from within our
own hearts.
VOUR problems and your heartaches
are only important in the measure by
which you solve or fail to solve them.
Evasion is the drugged cup which too
many drain to the dregs, to forget mo-
mentarily that which on the morrow will
only confront them anew.
Evasion of the problems of life is as
futile as it is cowardly. Happiness and
contentment are often synonymous.
When they are not, when they are sep
arate entities, the one is but more spon-
taneous effervescence of the other.

1t was these same wounds which are to form
the centerpoint of whether or not Marshal Ney
and Peter Ney were the same man.
The Russian campaign and Napoleon's subse-
quent retreat from Moscow has been very well
told and documented in Mr. Blythes book. The
failure to come to grips with the elusive Rus
slams was to mark the beginning of the downfall
of Napoleon. On the retreat from Moscow Ney
had charge of the rear guard. His regmental
rolls had dropped from $4,000 men when he left
Paris to 10000 when he arrived in Moscow and
to 5000 when he passed through Smoensk on
the way back to France.

also are found Napoleon and Josephine marry

A fearless, strong man, one of the two best
swordsmen in Europe, Ney bore the brunt of
every battle in which he engaged. Disdanng
to follow Napoleon's example of watching bat
ties from a hilltop two or three miles away
Ney was always in the thick of the fighting
In one battle of three hours duration, five
horses were shot from under him. In all these
campaigns he escaped serious injury, but his

The prison division of the State

that forest fire calls can be sent out

Raleigh, July 12.ASunday movies
will continue to operate here without
interruption, under the guise of char
ity, as result of an agreement reach
ed by Manager w. G. Enloe, of the
theaters operated here by the Caro-
lima Theaters, Inc, of Charlotte, and
the local post of the American Legion,
it was learned today. Details of the
agreement were not revealed, but in
dications are that ther theaters will
give somewhere in the neighborhood
of ten per cent of their gross receipts
to the American Legion post to be
used in it's charitable work in the city
and county. This agreement is expect
ed to act as life insurance policy for
the theaters and protect them against
the enactment of Sunday closing or
dinance by the city.
: Some ten days ago Manager EnlOe
notified o. S. Slannwhite, commander
of the local American Legion post
that after July 1 the theaters would
no longer turn over Is per cent of the
gross receipts of their Sunday shows
to the Legion charity fund.- as they
had been doing for more than two
years. Legion officials Immediately
protested, maintained that the theat-
err managers had made verbal con-
tact with them to dcrate Is per cent
of the Sunday gross receipts to the
T~o"ion for charitable work as long as
Sunday shows should continue, and
that this action by Enloe was a
breach of valid contract. For several
days there was talk of trying to get
the Cl,y Council to enact an anti-Sun-
day movies ordinance, on the grounds
that Sunday shows were justified on
ly if portion of the receipts were
given to charity. II was pointed out
that since the Legion had received
approximately $4,000 from It's IS pei
cent cut, that the theaters had taken
in more than 100000 from their Sun
day shows since they had been operat-
ing.
