Wrong
Spirit

1t seems to me you cannot
take this haggling, penny-pinch'
ing spirit into marriage and
make it successful. Furnishing
the home has always been the
mans responsibility, and when
the girl reverses the old tradi-
ton and contributes inherited
furniture, the prospective huS-
band should do better for the
new home than suggesting five
and-ten crockery.
My correspondent signs he
letter "Uncertain," and I thinA
the signature well-chosen. AS
it seems to me from the full text
of the letter, which is too long
to print, that the man is more
in love with the salary and saw
ings than he is with the girl.

Dear Donna Grace:
I have a round, fat face. Can
you tell me some way to fix my
hair so it won't look so round
and fat?
Thank you. K. M.
Dear K. M:
You will have to wear your
hair close to the head, either in
flat waves or straight. It may
be long bob, or the shorter
type, but keep it close to the
cheeks as hair fluffed out at
the sides suggests added width.
A rather low side-part will also
detract from the size.

No Sense
OF Protection

That ancestor Of yours who
owned the four-poster four gen
erations ago would probably sit
up in her grave if she heard
these present-day arguments.
Frankly, I think the point Of

ward the woman he intends to
marry when she has already
given all that has been con-

''He finally made the sugges-

my personal account.
MY fiance says, when we go
to the movies or take an out

Upon retiring, the County Board Of
Education expressed sincere apprecia-
ticn and thanks for her faithful and
efficient efforts in behalf of and for
the material benefits of the Henderson
school and recognized the importance
and worth of the good work accom-
Llished by her.
In 1882 a portrait of Mrs. O'NeiI
was presented to the Henderson high
school and fitting tribute was paid
at this time.
She organized the Womans Club OF
Henderson and was its president for
two years. AS a district officer Of
the North Carolina Federated Clubs
Mrs. O'Neil organized number OF
community clubs throughout the
county.
When in 1892 she found it necessary
to resign from the craftsmanship OF
the educational department, deep APP
probation was expressed for her ex-
cellent leadership and she was MADE
life member of the club.
She was also a pioneer in Girl
Scout work, always being interested
in young peoples activities.
She was treasurer of the Vance
county Chapter of the u. d. C. since
1907 and a leader of the Orrin Ran
dolph Smith Chapter of the Children
OF the Confederacy since she organic
ed it in 1872
Mrs. O'Neil was one of IL women OF

Her passing will be an irreparabie
loss to all the organizations of which
she was a member.

II Shopping
DaysRemaiin
ToChristrrlas
Weather This Week
Expected To Be In
ducive to Buyers Visit
ing Stores Here

Seventeen shopping DAYS before
Christmas remained this afternoon as
the first day of new week passed,
with some indications of a. quickening
in public buying in prepa. aticn for
the holiday season. Indictment weather
part of last week slowed down the
buying, but there was noticeable
increase in the interest of the public
in visiting stores and looking over
merchandise selections.
Short crops of tobacco and cotton,
with a consequent decline in farm pur-
chasing power, was reflected in retail
volume during the fall months. While
this condition. may be felt in strictly
Christmas trade, there is always a
brisk demand for most lines of goods
during the period Immediately preced-
ing the holidays. Merchants are look
ing forward to this surge to help cut
down the shortage of trade they have
had so far.
Statistics have indicated an increase
in retail trade in many parts of tho
country, but no matter what the trend
is elsewhere, retailers in this parti-
cular section depend in large measure
on farm purchasing and the character
of business that has been enjoyed by
manufacturing establishments, as ex-
pressed in terms of employment in
those industries. Neither has been en-
tirely satisfactory this fall.
But the fact that nearly every fam
lily spends some money for Christmas
iollity will help lift the level of trade
in the next few weeks. Merchants,
therefore, are looking forward to that
surge to swell their December volume.
Henderson stores have big stocks of
goods from which selections may be
made both for gifts and for indivi-
dual, personal needs of the coming
winter season. They invite the peo-
pie of this community and section to
look over their merchandise displays
before going elsewhere, if elsewhere
they must go. If that is done, the bust
ness people are confident shoppers
will find it unnecessary to do their
buying outside of Henderson. In so
doing, shoppers will be able to meet
their own requirements, in most in
stances. and at the some time keep
money at home to bolster the local
merchandising structure, where folks
in this section live and receive their
income.

Injunction Law
Change Asked
Donnely Again Informs Governor of Labors Legislative
Needs

House Bill 16 was patterned after
the Norris-LaGuardia Act which was
signed by President Hoover in 1882
and provided certain procedures which
the Courts must follow in considering
an appeal for restriction of activit-
les during labor disputes.
All unlawful acts are enjoinable as
fully as before, but an injunction may
not issue sworn testimony in open
court, with opportunity for cross
examination, proves that unlawful
acts have been threatened or commit
ted and injury or damage follow.
Secretary Donnelly in his letter to
the Governor declared that the neces
sity for such legislation arises from
modern economic conditions wherein
individual workers are helpless to ex-
ercise actual liberty Of contract and
are unable to cope with vast corpora
tions. These conditions have tended
to nullify the constitutional rights
of citizen to bargain for improved
conditions of labor, he said.
A measure creating an Ohio Labor
Relations Act was approved by thu
House of Representative in the reg
ular session by a vote of 80 to 81, and
died in the Senate Finance Committee,
Secretary Donnelly reminded the Gov
ernor.
Similar in content to the Wagner
Connery Federal Labor Relations Act,
The Ohio Act would be effective in
cases where the National Labor Relat-
ions Board is without jurisdiction, due
to definitions Of Interstate and mira
state commerce.

(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus, Ohio-In letter to Gov
ernor Martin L. Davey last week,
Thomas j. Donnelly, Secretary-Tre
urer of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor, requested the Governor to
amend his proclamation of November
p to permit the General Assembly to
enact legislation regulating the IS
suance of injunctions, particularly
where labor disputes are involved,
and State Relations Act.
The request Of Secretary Donnelly
supplemented one made by the EX-
ecutive Board several weeks ago in
conformity with resolution adopted
by the 53rd Annual Convention Of
the Ohio State Federation of Labor at
Dayton last July.
The resolution asked that the Gov
ernor include consideration of legis
lation or those two subjects in his
message to special session Of the
General Assembly, the Federation tax
ing the position that the proper man
ner to obtain these progressive laws
was through regular legislative chan
nels.
Secretary Donnelly pointed out in
his letter to the Governor that the
injunction regulation proposal could
not be considered controversial as it
was approved by the House of Rep
resentatives in the regular session by
vote of 81 to 13, and was recommen-
ded for passage by the Senate Jude
iary Committee after amendments
had been made. The bill identified
as House Bill No. 16, died on the
Senate calendar.

A PROGRESSIVE
JUDGE

Charles Fremont Amidon, retired
United States District Judge, who
died this week at the age of 81, was
one of those jurists who are able to
put life and fighting spirit into the dry
bones of the law. He was an earnest
advocate Of number of reforms,
judicial and otherwise, which seemed
radical when originally proposed and
later We're accepted by conservatives
who often seemed to wonder why they
didn't think of them first He had
handy way of holding the scales enev-
~ between capital and labor, as he saw
the situation, and applying injunctions
which worked both ways
Judge Amidon was not man who
wanted always to be agreed with
he loved a good fight. He will be re-
membered longest, especially in his
home bailiwick of North Dakota, for
his staunch defense of civil liberties
during and just after the World War.
In perspective he seems a better
American than many of those who
We're trying in those days to put in
jail every one who didn't see eye to
eye with themselves. As his physical
frailities grew upon him his inner hon
esty and courage seemed to shine out
of him with an increasingly clearer
light; those who saw him in his last
days viii thus remember him New
York.
