Carnival in Flanders" is back,
ringing bells and cash registers
at the Belasco Theater. You've
seen it? But you must go-if only
to see it again.
If you arrive at your seat on the
aisle just as the theater lights dim
out, and thereby catch the who
done it Of cast and production,
you'll notice that it now struts its
added award Of BEST Foreign Pic
ture Of 1885," in addition to its
other glories.
The story, Of course, continues
the same-how q clustering burgo-
meister takes to his pretended
death bed in order to avoid the
unwelcome arrival Of a fighting
Spanish duke, how his wife saves
the day, and the town, by provid-
ing entertainment free and fancy
for the visitors, how everything
ends happily come cock-crow and
the morning after.
Generally speaking, American
costume pictures have a habit Of
always looking that way. The fuss
and feathers have q put-on look.
Not so with the French who pho
tograph the scenes in diffused and
softened light and who hire actors
who can wear a sword and cloak
as naturally as F Street mortals
achieve shirt and tie. It's this
sort of thing that makes Carnival
in Flanders" the hearty success
that it is.
And then look at FRANCHISE Ro-
say, who by way Of playing the
burgomeister's wife, becomes the
heroine Of the show. What would
the kleig-lights of Hollywood do to
a leading lady who admits she's

This time it is There Goes MY

producers, Radio Pictures, have
topped the supporting cast with

AS q general rule, movie roman

temporary nature, most stars be-
ing cast opposite each other only
once, or twice at the most.
Gene Raymond and Ann Sothern
have proved to be the exception to
the rule. OF course, their box.
office appeal is the primary con-
sideration as to why they have
been paired so much recently.
However, their versatility Is an
other factor which makes team

Both Miss Sothern and Mr.. Ray

both excellent in hght-comedy
roles. Each can also rise to dra-
matte heights. 9
Their first three pictures, Hoo

and "Smartest Girl in Town." were
light musicals. Their current Of

The story concerns Cortez, q

"Her Husband Lies" is the first

It wasn't until she was given the

D|PHTHER|A TAKES
ANOTHER LIFE HERE
DR.. Gregg Warns of Menace
and Tells of Virtually
Sure Preventive

Another diphtheria-type death has
occurred in Vance county, and drew
today from Dr. A. D. Gregg, Vance
county health officer, stern warn
ing of the menace and Of the virtually
sure preventive that is available to
save the lives of children from the
malady. In an article, published here
in full, DR.. Gregg said "the baby
strangler strikes again, and wrote:
Diphthera is the form of mem
branous Group brings quick death to
little colored child in Henderson, and
with only a few minutes time sepa-
rated from a doctor and antitoxin.
The parents thought it was only Group
and the doctor and antitoxin were too
late. This death with it's sorrow to
the parents could have been prevent
ed without cost, and very Little trou-
BILE by use of toxoid immunization
given a few months ago.
Diphtheria is a disease that has
been known to the world since anti
quity DR.. Homer of Ancient Greece
wrote about it. In 1921 a doctor
wrote a description of it and first
called the disease "Diphtheria" from
Greek word meaning membrane, and
the Laryngeal type is yet known as
membranous Group In 1888 the spe
cific bacillus causing Diphtheria was
isolated.
Antitoxin as cure and preventive
was first used in 1894. In 1913 DR..
Schick devised the Test bearing his
name by which test we determine the
susceptibility of a child to Diphtheria.
About the same time Toxin Antitoxin
was experimental with in hospitals
and some schools and used during the
next five or six years in institutions
as a preventive. In 1920 the first ex-
tensive use of Toxin Antitoxin was
used in the schools of New York, aft
er that the use of Toxin Antitoxin be-
came general. It was followed by the
Alum Precipitated Toxoid, which lat
ter preparation gives IS to 80 per cent
immunity with one dose.
Before the use of Antitoxin in 1900
there were about 40 cases of Diphthe-
ria to the 100000 people in the United
States. By 1920 the rate was reduc-
ed to II per 100000 and in 1884 to IL
per cent. A survey of 5000 families in
Is states showed that at one year of
age 81 per cent of the children were
susceptible to Diphtheria, at five
years the rate was reduced to 48 per
cent and at 10 years to 27 per cent.
This natural immunity gradually in
creased with age: SO our constant
fight should be to have all children
given immunization during the first
year of life as IS per cent of deaths
occur before their fifth year of age.
The family doctors should impress
this on their patients
The rate of Vance county for 1896
was approximately SO cases per 10O,-
600 people, which is more than. twice
the average rate of 80 years ago. I
hope all parents and doctors will work
together so that this condition never
happens again.

CAUTION URGED IN
SALES OF TIMBER
Many Farmers Lose Heav-
lily When They Do Not
Know Real Values

College Station, Raleigh, Jan. g.
Can you imagine farmer selling
his tobacco crop without knowing
how much it weighs or having any
idea Of rs quality?
ut hard to believe that any grower
could be SO foolish" said Rufus H.
Page, Jr., assistant extension forester
at State College.
Yet when a buyer offers farmers a
price for their timber, many of them
will accept the buyers figure without
knowing how many board feet of lum-
Der they are selling, Page stated.
Even institutions do it, he added
In Western North Carolina, an in
stitution sold block of timber for
$4,000. The buyer harvested 100000
board feet. This should have netted
the institution more than $4,000.
With a little practice, he continued,
any farmer can learn to scale his
standing timber so he can get fairly
close estimate of the board feet per
acre.
In many instances, county agricul-
tural agents can assist farmers in
estimating their standing timber. The
extension foresters at State College
also are helping many farmers learn
to scale timber.
Don't sell your lumber without
having some way of estimating the
amount you are selling" Page urges
North Carolina farmers.
He also said it is better, when pos
sible, for the farmer to cut his own
timber than to have some outside
firm send in men to strip the wooded
area clean.
Only the more mature, lumber-sized
trees should be cut, except when fields
are being cleared for cultivation, and
the younger trees should be left to
grow into marketable timber.

HUGE CROWDS FOR
INAUGURAL COMING
Prosp ect of Blizzardy
Weather no Deterrent to
January 20 Event
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COIumniSt

Washington, Jan. GAS the date
(Jan. 20) for the inaugural ceremonies
approaches it becomes more and more
evident that President Roosevelt can
not soft-pedal his Inauguration cere-
monies even if he tries.
BY all reasonable calculations
worse time of year for an outdoor
show (mainly out of doors) hardly
could have been chosen.
The President himself opposed
much of the celebration, probably
feeling that the weather was likely
to be bad and fearing a consequently
poor turnout, which naturally would
be bad publicity for him. The process
sion will be far less spectacular than
usual. The price of seats in the spec
tators' stands will be higher than ever
before. Their occupants may suffer
actutely from the cold, perhaps plus
snow or a shivering rain. There will
be no inaugural ball.
THOUSANDS COMING?
Very chilly water, in short, has been
thrown on the whole affair in ad-
vance.
Indications, however, are that the
inaugural crowd will be unprecedent-
ed. Hotels and boarding houses and
outlying tourists camps are boxed up
to their bathrooms and cots in cor
ridors. Householders in Washington
and it's suburbs have rented every
closet-ful of their available advance
space at fancy figures
Best estimates are that at least 10O,-
900 visitors will be here-which is ap-
proximately one-sixth of the Distri
of Columbia's resident population
Thousands will be unable to get
spectators seats.
F. ID. RS VIEWS DISREGARDED
And all this in response to what a.
mounted to an appeal from the White
House for a "quiet inauguration!
1t is fair to say that the inaugural
committee, headed by Admiral Cary
T. Grayson, did not indorse the plan
to make the reinauguration a quiet
affair." Neither did local business men,
particularly hotel and restaurant
managers. The committee has done it's
utmost to disregard the administra-
tons hush-hush policy and advertise
Washington as an ideal winter resort.

ing over Vance Superior Court, order
ed the case of Mrs. Thelma Faulkner'

tinued, after legal representatives in
the case began arguing over the seat

The three are charged with the
death of Virginia G. Johnson, young
woman, who was found in dying
condition on the morning of Septem-
Der 80. 1885 in a room above a filling
station operated by Mrs. Faulkner's
husband a mile east of the city. The
Young womans death was alleged to
have been caused by an illegal Ope-
ration performed by Mrs. Faulkner,
and Hayes and Weston were being
held in connection with it.

cess was consumed with the picking
of a jury and this continued into the
afternoon session when the lawyers
in the case, state and defense, began
arguing over a juror that had been

tied the case for this term by con-
