the other day wanting stenographers.
They were in a couple of papers from
New York and California.
Now let's return to terry firmy.
Really, 1 am delighted at receiving
your nice letter, and glad to know
that I have at least given one per-
son even bit of pleasure by all this
foOliShneSS. If 1 do not mis-quOte the
poet who said, eff 1 can lift one hun
cry robin back to it's nest again, I
have not lived in vain"
But, Miss Ruby, if I were to die
now, and every one tried to think of
something nice to say about me, they
none of them could say more than
this, WELL he was a good whistler
And after you have a little vacation
from your long school term, I do
truly hope you can get a really nice
position and like, and literally "love"
your work. If any one tries to do
work that they do not like, they will
never make a success of themselves
)r their work.
Mr.. Harris was at least partly ex-
cusabie for calling me half-cracked,
out you sure did rub it on when you
)ut it down in ink that 1 was the
biggest fool in town. When you get
hat job, be sure and write and tell
ne about.it, but won't ask that you
ype the letter so that 1 can read it,
IS you have a splendid handwriting.
We will leave Miss Ruby while she
wears out her shoes walking from
place to- place looking for a job and
ives on bread crusts, peanuts and
popcorn. I wish hadn't said that
asst sentence, as it made me think of
the story of 1.-THE Little Match Girl"
who froze to death out in the snow
while trying to sell matches.

meeting some tourists returning to

eide when it heard Friday n specially
advanced and expedited oral argu-
ment in the appeal of Harold Wells,
Wilmington real estate dealer, from
the decision of Superior Court Judge
NJ A. Sinclair that the housing au-
thorities law of North Carolina, enact
ed in 1885, is in all respects constitu-
tional
1t is the first test of the statute
under which Wilmington is planning
a wholesale program of slums clear

of less than average means. The city
is assured of a Federal grant of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars in the
event it is allowed to go through with
its plans.
Wells, on behalf of himself and
others similarity situated, contends
that the housing authority, a creature
of government, in open competition

ness of acquiring real property for

unless enjoined and restrained.'
Mr. Goldberg was unable to appear
for oral argument, but City Attorney
w. B. Campbell, of Wilmington, ar
gued vigorously that the authority is
a public corporation, that its func
tions would be purely public, that the
city would be responsible for none of
it's debts or obligations and that the
request for an injunction was properly
refused by Judge Sinclair.
Ten days was granted for filing ad-

of Congress, North Carolina would
get total of $6,962,OOO for the next
two years, compared with the $8,OOO,-
600, approximately, received and to
be received during the current bien-

Thus there will be quite drastic
reduction in the federal funds to be

next biennium, and anti-diversionists
point out that there will accordingly
to greater need to see to it that rev.
enue collected by the stat from au-

Recent reports from Commissioner
of Revenue A. J. Maxwell make it
certain that the current fiscal years
receipts will re higher than ever be-

no diversion this time; but there is
no certainty that such conditions vii

Raleigh, May 2s.-Opponents of di-
version of highway funds are watch
ing the Congressional wrangle over
Federal roads funds with more than
ordinary interest for two reasons
first, they have always felt that the
Federal tax on gasoline was out and
out diversion of all sums over those
granted back for road purposes in the
states and consequently feel that any
cut in these grants would amount to
increased diversion and second, they
think that any slash in Federal grants
to North Carolina will make it in
creasingly important adoption. of an
anti-diversion amendment in the 1888
General Assembly.
Under the recommendation of Pre-
sident Roosevelt, federal funds for
roads would be slashed almost in two,
but since he came out for such a dras-
tic cut, there has been change in
the ADMINISTRATIONS economic poll
cies, and the President himself is said

grapher at once, but he particularly
wants a red-headed girl with green

her pencil in her left hand when she

 Dear Postmaster:
 T have just heard that my son Wesley H. Wyatt, has been lost sev- eral days. Oh, please, let me know what is wrong. It will just kill me if he can't be found. Oh, please tell the people to do all they can. We are poor folks and can't go out there. He is our baby so. The last letter got from him was mailed from Jun eau the 29th of October.
 All of you help all you can and God will bless you.

In a speech during Thanksgiving week, Louis Johnson, Assistant Secretary of War, hinted that defense needs might justify an air fleet of 1000 or even 9,006 planes, instead of the g. 320 which Craig had accepted as suitable only a few weeks before.
 Yesterday" sad Johnson, we believed that a program calling for 2,32O airplanes of all types by l940 would protect us against enemies from the air. Today, these figures are far below our immedi- ate needs. To meet the tre- mendous pace that the rest of the world is setting, we must double, yes treble and even quadruple our present air force with the best air planes that can possibly be pro- duced."
