Although mention, of Kitchen
modernization" generally brings to
mind mode--n gas and electric ap-
pliances, 6 eat advances have been
made also in the development of
kitchen equipment for homes be-
yond power lines and gas mains.
The modern range shown here
uses kerosene for fuel and there
fore can be used anywhere. 1t is a
porcelain enameled range with five
high-power burners which are said
to create as much heat as the
burners of a gas range. The burn
ers are concealed back of a hinged
front-panel which may be left open
or shut while the stove is in use.
Also concealed is the fuel reservoir
which holds two gallons instead Of
the usual one, thus making refuel-
ing necessary only half as often
as with most ranges.

1887 SIGN-UP
OF FARMERS PRO-
CROSSING SATISFACTORILY

The sign-up of farmers for
the 1887 soil conservation pro-
gram is progressing in spite of
the bad road conditions over the
county. To date the sign-up is
all that could be expected and
in fact is better than what the
organization had on record on
this date last year. During this
week the committeeman are
holding sign-up meetings in
each township of the county at
which producers will have an
opportunity to sign up for the
program and have the various
details explained to them by the
committeeman in their own
township. With road conditions
as they are the county commit
tee has urged that the commit
tees in the townships refrain as
much as possible from carrying
on a farm-to-farm canvass in
the different townships. In
many townships no work of this
kind will be done. In view of
this everyone interested in the
program is urged to contact his
committeeman at the earliest
possible opportunity.

the sorry spectacle. Farmer-Labor-

Leod expressed regret. Senator
Lommen, his excellency's spokes-
man, alone defended him. On
Thursday the resolution was

And so we sign off, hopeful that
never again will the people of the
state be chargined by like dis

Much was heard about sales tax
in the last campaign. Farmer La
borites, especially, were vociferous
in their cries against such a tax.
But they seem to have forgotten
party pledges. The House has al
ready passed an additional 1c gas
tax, which is sales tax; have re-
commended for passage 1c tax on
cigarettes, which, of course, is a
sales tax, and have other legislation
before them which seems certain
of passage and which is along the
same line.
Death settled over the Senate
chamber again Thursday afternoon
when Senator Orr received word
that his aged mother, SO, had pass
ed away at the home of a daughter
in Seattle, Wash. Realizing to
what extent time was pressing,
Sen. Orr requested that the Senate
continue work, and not adjourn,
but remembering his great heart
and his unselfishness in like cases,
the Senate would not have it so
and out of respect for the grand
old mother of grand statesman,
adjourned.

Raleigh, June ia majority of the
cities and counties in North Carolina
are now back on a firm and sound fl
nancial foundation and have put their
fiscal affairs in good shape as COM
pared with 1884, it was announced to-
DIV by Charles M. Johnson, who is di-
rector of local government as we'll as
State treasurer.
There are now only II counties still
in default in North Carolina as of
MAY /, 1887. as compared with 81
counties which are in default in May,
1884, according to figures prepared by
George Adams, accountant for the Lo-
cal Government Commission, and re-
leased today by Mr.. Johnson. Among
the cities and towns, there are now
only II in default as of May 1, while
in May, 1924, there were 1852 cities
and towns in default, these figures
show
The approximate total of the de-
faults in the 62 counties and 152 cities
and towns in 1884 amounted to $19,-
05O,858, including both principal and
interest, while the total now involved
in the II counties and II cities still
in default amounts only to approx
mately $6,4O4, 104 in both principal and
interest. This means that the amounts
involved in the defaults have been re-
duced approximately $12,676,754 in
period of three years.
In 1884, the 62 counties in default
owed S4,609,134 in principal and S.
86O,82O in interest or a total of $10,-
469,054, the figures show. The 1852
cities and towns in default owed S.

work out refunding plans for these
than for the larger ones. At any rate,
these figures show that the Local
Government Commission has been get
ting some real results during the past
three years in helping defaulting To-
cal governments"
Some surprising interest savings
have resulted to the various local gov
ernments involved as a result of the
refunding plans consumated, the saw
ing in interest alone amounting to ap-
proximately $4O,OO0,OOO, Johnson said
In addition to this saving, the various
units will realize further saving by
being able to buy back their callable
bonds below par and by selling new
bond issues at lower rates of interest.

Offers a Solution of the
Supreme Court Problem

10 IQe EQlJOr OF Inc star.
Let's look at the Supreme Court prob
lem" this way:
A mans mental or physical capacity
cannot accurately be measured by years.
The court is now undoubtedly packed
against some desirable legislation The
Roosevelt program would probably pack
it for him and perhaps against some
other administration. BY no stretch of
the imagination Is constitutional
change necessary to change the court.
New blood from time to time is desirable
to reflect more up-to-date conception
of the laws and Constitution.
Let Congress enact legislation to per-
NIT a maximum of fifteen members on
the supreme bench and a minimum of
nine members, and say that one new
member must be appointed every three
years, providing, however, the maximum
cannot be over fifteen and the minimum
nine. The legislation should provide for
appointing one member now by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, as it is over three years
since an appointment has been made,
and another to be appointed on the
anniversary of the last previous appoint
ment, providing there are no resigna-
tions or deaths in the meantime
Why spend $120000 (and expenses) for
six new judges? Why spend an enor-
nous sum for constitutional amend
ments when the Constitution already
provides for Congress to say how many
shall be members of the court?
1t looks like the plan outlined should
be satisfactory to all.

Out of the Dark.

When Mrs. HibbS was a patient in a
Pittsburgh hospital, friends sent her
flowers that she could not see. But their
instinct was sound. She always has
loved growing thingS-particular such
blossoms as busy wife and mother may
cultivate in door yard garden. 1t
pleased her to lie in bed imagining the
loneliness of the masterpieces of the
florists art whose fragrance filled The
dark beyond the bandage over her eyes,
She thought, too of the miracle which
the grace and color of an ordinary
meadow represent. Even the tangle of
a rural roadside she considered marvel
Gus. In Winter the country roundabout
her home seemed dead. Yet it was not
So Springs touch would bring it to life
again. The mystery of the seasonal
change was locked in the protecting
husks of millions of millions of scattered
seeds.
Mrs Hibbs had never had leisure to
ponder the problem before. The COM
mand of an oculist gave her the oppor-
tunity, and she made the most of it.
Life, she guessed, was a periodic emer-
gence from night into day. Everything
sentient appeared to begin in the dark,
Evening star., 1937-03-22

to be drawn out of gloom and obscurity
by the magic OF light. With that theory
in mind, she conceived a more dynamic
significance for the Divine Command
which set the sun and the moon and
the countless stars on high. The gran
deur of the cosmic scheme appealed to
her as she meditated on the principle
she had discovered. Edna st. Vincent Mil
lay, while still only schoolgirl, had
created her poem "Renascence" to ex-
press the same appreciation. The riddle
could be read, then. Not even pulsing
pain could hide the truth from the sick
woman. She had found the universal
law of birth and rebirth.
The surgeon sent Mrs. Hibbs back to
her family. His knowledge, skill and
experience gave her sight again. The
fields d Brownsville are covered with
snow, but she sits at her window smiling
with happy anticipation of the days
when they will be verdant once more.
She sees much that in the past she did
not bother to notice-the deepened lines
which anxiety for her has etched in her
husbands face; the furtive and un-
advertised devotion of her daughters
and her grandchildren as they move
about the room; the gleam of linen and
silver and glass on the dining table pre-
pared for the evening meal; the SYM
metry of household materials and equip
ment-even the panel of the kitchen
door is possessed Of a cKiously beautiful
grain!
But best of all to look at is the il
luStrated catalogue of dealer in seeds.
Mrs. Hibbs has turned its pages many
times. The pictures fascinate her, the
text is almost as intriguing. She does
not talk about it, yet it is primer of
Immortality in the vision of one who
fears nothing now that she understands
the basic element of the cosmic plan.
Her spirit is free from doubt-because
1t comprehends the ultimate reality.

Tarnished Fascist Glory.

Because of the fuctuating tide of CON-
bat around Madrid it is premature to
look upon current Loyalist successes
north OF the capital, impressive as they
are, as indication that government VIC
tory is now at hand So much appears
certain-that General Miaias defenders
have given the insurgents a beating
bearing all the earmarks of a rout
Frances army, consisting chiefly of
Italians has been whipped in the
Guadalajara sector on a scale that leads
observers to describe the engagement
as Spanish Caporetto, grim reminder
Of the Italians supreme military disaster
during the World War, when they met
annihilating defeat by the Austro-Ger-
man allies
Whatever the dimensions of the rebel
reverse-it is considerable in respect both
of territory surrendered and war sinews
abandoned in the course of ignominious
retreat, to say nothing of killed, wounded
and prlSoners-the political implications
Of the lost battle are more important.
Little doubt exists that the overwhelming
bulk of the insurgent force consisted OF
Italians fighting with full Italian equip
ment. AS Malagas fall was wildly &C
claimed as an Italian victory because the
offensive was carried out primarily by
Fascist volunteers" it is impossible, in
any consistent view, to consider Guada-
lajara anything but an Italian defeat.
1t is from that standpoint that the re-
suit assumes significance. 1t means that
the prestige of Fascist aims has suffered
humiliating blow. Their escutcheon
is tarnished, ironically enough, at the
very moment Mussolini is busy in Africa,
proclaiming himself the protector of
Islam" and the new overload of the
Mediterranean, and inviting Moslems
everywhere to regard Italy as their
omnipotent and invincible bulwark.
II Duce doubtless will in due course
explain that the troops repulsed at
Guadalajara are not regular units of the
Italian Army, though there is plenty of
evidence to the contrary But the
Roman dictator cannot contemplate with
nonchalance the triumphant taunt of
General Miaja, who asks: Are these
the men on whom the countries which
wish to inflame the world must rely?
Do not fear these armies of tin soldiers
which try to strike terror into the hearts
OF other peoples" Dictatorships can
stand anything but military defeat and
popular contempt. 1t therefore remains
to be seen whether to avenge the one
and suppress the other Mussolini will
now seek to pour fresh thousands of
Italians into the war zone That the
mere matter of an international en-
barge may not restrain him is suggested
by the circumstantially reported arrival
of five thousand Fascists at Cadiz on
March 5, although Italy joined in a
neutrality pact specifically prohibiting
such intervention after February 20.
In any event, the new Roman Empires
martial glory, won so recently in Ethi-
opia, has been suddenly and decisively
Debated at the gates of Madrid. What
is II Duce going to do about it?
