Everyday Lining
A SPANKING
By JOSEPH FORT NEWTON
(Copyrisht 1887. by United Festurs Syndicate. lna

"How I'd like to shake you for your piece
on Armed Peace in the paper today, writes
a lovely woman "Or, better still, give you
a good spanking, if you were not too big.
ANYWAY, I'd like to try it; just take you
over nv knees, slipper in hand, and give
YOU tanning All can say is with apology
to King Agrippa, Almost thou has per-
suaded me-
$40 be a militariSt, mean Almost, but
not quite. Common sense, the sraln-Sense
of man, may mean war. But heart-sense is
lust God-sense; and God-sense must surely
mean peace"
Yes, good lady, good spanking with a
stiff slipper would be delightful, and a
blessed relief from the awful agony in my
heart in regard to the whole beastly war
business.
Canon Dick Sheppard tells story of
an adjutant during the World War who
dashed up to the colonel, saying that the
idiot-padre was talking pacifism to the men
in the ranks.
whats he saying?" asked the colonel.

entirely incompatible" said the adjutant.
"Well, who's the IDIOT" said the colonel.
"Who said they weren't?"
There you are, good reader, and it is as
plain as pike staff. But what are we going
to do about it in world half of which is
ruled by megalomaniacs beating the tom
toms!
Just sit down, unarmcd, and let the BAN
dts have their sweet way? Put in peril the
hard-wOn Inheritance of the past, which cost
so much and means so much-is that God
sense?
When mad-dog is loose in the ncighbor-
hood, we dare not 90 unarmed, on the
theory that he will not bite us. If Ethiopia
had been able to protect itself, would it have
been robbed and raped?
To say that it would not happen to us is
folly. Facts are facts, and it is fatal not to
face them. Armed peace is all we can hope
for in our generation, and maybe longer.

What Other Editors Say
An Jnflled Gap

According to information sent out by the state
board of charities and public welfare-Which is
evideny based on the letter Of the social security
law passed by the 1887 legslature-a gap is left
in the provision for the needy aged of IS and over
that may prove to be tragic in good many in
stances.
The provision referred to is the one specifying
that an aged person to be eligible for assistance
under the state-f -federal-county arrangement must
have resided in this state for at least five of the
past nine years. and have resided in the county in
which application is made for at least II months
prior to making application.
Here indeed is corner in which may be found
a number of forgotten" men and women. This is
especially true in the textile belt of Piedmont
South, where during the depression it became
necessary or seemed desirable for a good many
families to move from state to state in search of
employment, or more regular employment Where
has been in the state of present residence for
much five years during the past nine but
not in the county for II months it is understood
that the contingent fund will care for emergency.
But if the fiveyear requirement is lacking, there
appears no relief until continuous residence has
filled up the gap And there may be years of
want in this gap. lexington Dispatch.

Figures can't lie,' said the professor earnestly
For instance if one can build house in IL days,
II men can build it in one"
"Yes?" interrupted a student. Then 2S8 will
build it in one hour, 1920 in one minute, and L.

could lay one brick in that time"
While the professor was still gasping, the smart

Again, if one ship can cross the Atlantic in six

WE OFFER A
SUGGESTION

SUGGESTION whole time health de-
partment to a city of
Elizabeth City's size and importance; but 1t
can not appreciate the activities OF the State
Board of Health in seeking to promote
whole-time health departments i'll some OF
the rural counties in North Carolina.
What is the sense and where is the econ
omv in maintaining whole-time health Of
fcer at a rural county seat when reliable
medical practitioners in the rural OutpoStS OF
such a county can better perform the work?
The whole-timc health officer generally
succ IS in turning up a large amount OF
extra work for these local medical men who
many cases expensive drugs, free to charity
patients.
Why not take the money that would be
required to pay the salary and office expense
of a whole-timc health officer whose serv-
ices would be confined to conducting clinics,
making examinations and giving injections,
and Subsidize the local men in various parts
of rural county? These faithful. hard-work-
ing, pOorly-paid local practitioners are gen.
orally competent clinicians. Much of the
work they do is in the service of poverty
stricken humanity, for which they get no
pay. And in many, many cases they have to
supply, Out of their own slim purses, the
drugs which they prescribe and without
which the INDECENT patient might suffer or
die.
Something else to think about
