CALLS EN- RIGHT
When audiences exit voicing
such a doubt as, What do you
think of it?" or do you think
it has a chance?" I feel almost
certain the new drama ap-
proaches the final New York
test with two strikes on the
producer and his company.
Smash hits invariably conjure
but one Monday night opinion
and leave no doubling Julias.
I disclose this little firstnight
secret for the benefit Of an es-
timable lady who told me she
has been accustomed to watch
new dramas carefully, all the
while taking covert glances at
the faces of the regular Monday
night critics, and she finds this
method of determination unsat.

Scrutable mystery in the fea-
lures of Mr.. Kelley and his pro-

to have her own opinions quickly

OF VISIT TO EUROPE
John A. Park, Newspaper Publisher
Says True Attitude of Italy
Is Apparent.

Raleigh, July 1O.-(AP)-John A
Park, publisher of the Raleigh Times
came home today from European
tour saying it was his firm belief
that Mussolini cannot afford for Gen
eral Franco to lose in the Spanish
war.
"There is practically no public dis
cussion and nothing printed in Euro,
pean newspapers to indicate the true
attitude of Italy," Park said, "but il
is very evident at every point that
Italy is prepared for all eventualities
Army and navy affairs are in high
state of efficiency and complete or
ganization of personnel including men
women and children, is plainly evil
dent"
The publisher told of the cheers
given Mussolini as he spoke to an au-
dience of $4,000 fascist women on
June 20 on the subject "Give Me More
Babies" Park and q group of 100 Am
erican Rotarians attended the event
upon the invitation of Mussolini.
Returning on the Vulcania, Park
said the captain was constantly on

OTHERS VIEWS
YOUR OPPORTUNITY

To the Editor: How many people
there are everywhere who read and
re-read their holy Bible, only to fine
themselves more and more gaffled ano
confused. The Bible was never meant
to teach a religion. It is just tina
much evidence; it is the credentials OF
the church. It is proof, written b.
bishops of the early church, for late
years that the church might still b
identified atken centuries. IF W.,
would know what Jesus Christ ha.
done for mankind we can find Ou:
the facts only from his church. In
the church we see Christ still in &C
ton among men. The church is the
continuation of Christ on earth. The
church is like the crucified Savior, it
will either entirely delight you, or you
will be entirely opposed to it. The hes
way to find out about the Savior and
his church is to learn what the
church has been doing through the
centuries.
Everyone talks about the Catholic
Church. Most of these dear folks
speak without having read single
good book on the subject. The Ro
man Catholic Church is a necessary
subject of conversation. 1t is the
worlds largest society and organiza
ton It embraces one-fifth of al
mankind. It is the most effectua
voice on earth. It is the society mos
hated: most watched, most copied,
most loved. H. is Christ enthroned.
It's children are bound together by an
allegiance stronger than family or
patriotism. It produces in every age
persons of extraordinary holiness, and
of cheerful heroic sacrifice. "By their
fruits you shall know them!"
Your opportunity to find out the
devoted inner life of the church is a.
hand. The play "Cloistered" is COM
ing to one of our theatres. It wa.
not staged. It was not put on. "Clois
tered" is g 55-minute film of every
day life in one of thousands of con-
vents. This picture is genuine. With
permission of Pope Plus XI crew
of Is scameramen set up cameras in
the motherhouse of the Good Shep-
herd Sisters, at Anglers, near Paris.
There are 1900 inmates in the convent,
and the various activities, covering a
period of two years, were filmed.
There are over 300 such Good Shep-
herd converts throughout the world
To see this secluded life of holmes
and devotion is to recognize the high
est standards of womanhood in thu
world. And the whole thing is "un
posed" You will see the daily life

candidate enters as a postulant unit
she takes her final perpetual vow
five and half years later. The pic
lures answer many questions that ar
often raised by curious as well as b

ed and delivered narration by Father

PIG CROP IN STATE
INCREASES "a PRCT.
Indications Are For Still
Larger Production
This Fall

Raleigh, July 10 (AP)-W. II.
Rhodes, chief of the State Department
of Agriculture's statistical division.
reported today the spring pig crop IN
North Carolina "is "a per cent more
this year than last spring and pro-
ducers report intentions of narrowing
10 per cent more sows during the fall
of 1887 than in the fall of last year.
"Of all states having more than
100000 breeding sows, North Carolina
has decidedly the largest percentage
increase in narrowing this spring" nc
added. while Tar Heel grower
greatly increased their 1887 narrowing
and hog breeding intentions, the coun
Try as a whole showed decided de
crease"
State Department of Agriculture au
thorities estimated that there were
10000 narrowing sows in the State
Turing the past spring, or Is per cent
more than were narrowed in the
pring of 1886, 26 per cent more than
n 1885 and % per cent more than the
average for the past IA years of re-
cord.
With an estimated 1O4 900 sows bred
or narrowing this fall, the pig crop is
scheduled to be the greatest since
1888 and one of the largest since 1874
asst fall producers reported their in
entions of increasing their spring
arrowing nine per cent, but the actu-
Il narrowing was Is per cent more or
TX per cent more than earlier intend
ed.
IF a similar increase over present
Intentions is made this fall, it will be
wise for North Carolina producers to
keep in touch with the conditions in
he principal hog producing states,
since favorable weather conditions are
continued favorable prices will doubt
ess result in a decided increase over
present intentions in the principal
corn-hog producing states, especially
the 1886 drought states" Rhodes
said.
"At present, reductions in fall far
owings are indicated for all areas ex-
:ept the South Atlantic States where
s. per cent increase is shown"
The average number of pigs saved
per litter this spring was 6.O1 COM
pared with 5.57 last spring, the de-
artment reported.
Rhodes said pork prices in North
Carolina reached the lowest point Of
he past 15-year period about March
1888 when the average was below 81
per 100 pounds, but in October 1885
the average was $11 per 100 pounds
and on June Is this year was 1910 per
hundred mounds
