/ patiently explained to him, as
| have to many others, that he had
the wrong slant 4upOn the remedy
and the way it should be, applied.
Certainly he was correct in assum=
ing that something should be done
about it. But he was entirely
wrong in expecting the President
or any other uninterested body of
persons to act unless urged thereto
by a personal interest they do not
as yet possess.
You are the interested party and

What can i do" he asked.
You can write or telegraph your
Senators in the Congress urging
them to support this legislation.
This is one of the most effective as

Chronic Arthritis
DIR. w. D. Brown

Arthritis means inflammation Of
a joint. Chronic arthritis is that
form of arthritis which is charac-
terized by a gradual, progressive
disability of a joint. Chronic
arthritis has been divided into
many different types. This differ
entiation has depended more or less
upon the type of deformity that
has resulted. However, at the
present time, most of these types
have been united into two major
types.
If we knew the exact bacteria

Because of this more or less
mythical protection, the only sub
stantial following the Republican
Party has had in the South the
last TO years has been drawn from
the Negro race. Denied the right
of suffrage, and in many states not
even daring to exercise it, the
Negroes stuck Loyalty to the party
of Lincoln = to the men who set
them free.
The only function they have
been able to exercise in political
affairs has been to appear once in
four years in national Republican
conventions, closeherded by a white
boss, to cast their votes for a presi-
Dental candidate for whom they
could never vote at1the polls and
who rarely carried a, state south of
the Mason and Dixon line. In sue
cessive Republican administrations
they were rewarded for this loyalty
with occasional crumbs from the

pittance kept the Negro vote fairly

Source of lie Names of
Twelve Months of Year

Names of the twelve months Of

airy, the Roman festival Februs was
held on the fifteenth day of this
month. in honor Of Lupercus, the
god of fertility March, named
from the Roman god of war, Mars.
April, the Latin word, "Aprillis,"
probably is derived from "aperire,
to open, because spring generally
begins and the buds open in this
month. May, the Latin word, Mai
us, . probably is derived from Maia,
a feminine divinity worshiped at
Rome on the first day of this month,
June, from Juno, a Roman divinity
worShiped as the queen of heaven.
July, from julius. Julius Caesar
was born in this month. August,
named by the Emperor Augustus

NAVY HELPS IN
.ll,0O0-MILE HOP
OF PANAY FILM
Pictures of U. S. Gunboat
Sinking To Be Shown
Here Two Days

BY airplane, by use of the new
giant China Clipper, by govern
ment aid, and by split-second trav-
ell connections, the special feature
film showing the Panay bombing,
which comes to the Carolina the
atre Friday and Saturday, Janu-
airy and 5, was transported al
most 1000 miles from the banks
of the Yangtze river in China to
New York.
For a week prior to the bomb
ing of the Panay, Norman Alley,
cameraman, had been filming ex-
citing events which transpired
with the bombing and burning of
Marking. Then came the exodus
of the beleaguered Americans
from the embassy quarters to
safety" aboard the Panay. This
provided further scenes for Alleys
camera, for he had chosen to stay
in the besieged city, and did not
accompany his fellow Yankees.
Shortly after, the attack grew in
intensity, and he feared for his
film. In a dash down the banks of
the Yangtze, he managed to hail
the Panay which had already hove
anchor, and was brought aboard
ship, the last evacuating civilian
from Marking to be rescued. Not
much later he again won numeri-
cal distinction, for he was the last
civilian to leave the sinking boat
after il had been attacked. But
in the interim his grinding camera
recorded the event which caused
intense furore throughout the
world.
1t became necessary for Alley,
after he reached shore, following
the sinking of the Panay, to hide
both his camera and his films from
the hands of wandering japanese
Army patrols. He buried them in
the mud and weeds along the
shore. A few days later when he
and mis- party of wounded surviv-
ors were rescued by the British
gunboat "Bee," Alley was success
full in relocating the precious
cache. The "Bee" took Alley and
his film back to Marking where he
was transferred to the U. S. S.
Oahu. From there the Oahu
steamed down river, under protec-
ton of convoy, to Shanghai and
the mothering shelter of the U.
S. S: flagship Augusta. 1t was
here that wireless contact was
made with the home office of Uni
versal Pictures, and a schedule
was laid out for speedy transpor-
tation of the films to America.
The first jump was to Manila, and
it was made aboard the U. S. S.
destroyer Stewart, with the film
locked in the safe of the boat.
For four hundred miles out to sea
the destroyer was followed by
Japanese bombers flying high in
circling maneuvers. At Manila the
China Clipper was waiting, and
with no time to lose Alley was off
for San Francisco, with the most
intensely interesting pictorial sem
sation that the country has ever
seen.

Only Chance of Restora,

By EDWARD BEATTIE
United Press Staff Correspondent

SHANGHAI, Jan. II. (UP)-
Two an da half months of bitter

Chapel from a prosperous Chinese
business community to hundreds
of acres of forlorn ruins.
Hardly a house between 500

the open country which begins

Bombs have blown buildings
apart, leaving only a corner or a
fragment of wall standing. Ma
chine-gun fire during the bitter
street fighting literally ate away
the fronts of buildings, pulverized
their inside walls and reduced
their furnishings to so many
piles Of rubbish. What the fight
ing failed to destroy, the fire set
by retreating Chinese turned into
desolation.
ONLY BODIES REMOVED
Impassive japanese troops sta
toned throughout the district
have cleared the bodies from the
streets, but to attempt even to
sweep them clean would have re-
quired half of General lwane
Matsui's Shanghai army.
The streets remain welter of
fallen telephone poles, electric
wires, twisted water pipes blasted
