Raleigh, Feb. 15.-The question
What is a newspapers" has never
been legally answered in North Car
DINA, but a bill offered by Senator
Tom Gold and now pending before
his judiciary committee, attempts to
supply the answer. This bill, if enact
ed into law, will void advertisements
of legal notices in papers which have
not been published at least once a
week for fifty-one of the So weeks
Immediately preceding the first ad-
vertisement. Other requirements are
that the paper must have second class
mailing privileges and have a regular
subscription list No stated numbe,
of subscribers, and no fixed size of
paper is required. The bill is spon-
sored by the State Press Association
and is designed to weed out the fly
by-night sheets that spring up just
in time to work political pull and put
publication of tax lists and other pub
lie printing, and then fold up and
quit.

Raleigh, Feb 15.-The General AS
sembly has accepted an invitation
from Charlotte to hold its regular
sessions there next Wednesday, Feb
ruary %. Monday night the Senate
accepted the invitation extended by
Senator Emmett Bellamy for that
body to visit Wilmington over the FOL
lowing weekend as guests of the sea-
port city and the county OF New
Hanover. This trip will not come
under the head of business, as 1t
is proposed to hold q brief session
i'll Raleigh before leaving, but will be
entirely pleasure.
Senator Bellamy told the other SEN
ators about the lovely azalee and
japonica gardens around Wilmington,
and said that arrangements had
been made to take the visitors
through several Of the more beauti-
full ones. Transportation from Ra-
leigh to Wilmington and return, free
meals and bedding at the swankiest
hotels, and all the courtesies that the
gentle folk of a southern city know
how to extend, will make the excur-
sion pleasant and inexpensive for the
senators.
Senator Bellamy, however, found
some unexpected reaction to his most
cordial invitation, which was address
ed only to the members of the Sen
ate. The Senate had hardly adjourn
ed until he was surrounded by Seve-
raj young ladies' of the stenographic
crew, and two or three not so sweet
but just as determined sturdy young
pages, all of whom wanted to lInow
how come they weren't included in
the invitation. The modest Bel amy
smiled and said maybe something
can be done about it; we shall have
TO wait and see."
1t is understood that an entertain
ment fund of nearly a thousand dol
lars had been raised before the in
vitation was given and this may he
supplemented if more is needed. The
occasion is being looked forward tc
with pleasure by the lawmakers
some of whom have never seen the
States biggest seaport.

Highs Meet Warrenton;;
Basketeers Play Aycock
Lads and Lassies of
Local School Should
Be Winners; Galloway
Moved to Forward;
Aycock All-St1 = Fav-
ored Over Local Stars

Fans here will be offered plenty of
basketball tonight when Henderson
high school basketball teams swing
into action in a double bill against
Warrenton high, and the Henderson
"Basketeers" tangle with Aycock ALI
Stars in a third game of the evening.
The high school contests will get I'M
derway at 1880 o'clock.
The lads and lass;es from Hender-
son high have no fear of the War
renton court performers. In a previous
meeting, the teams coasted through
to victories by stable margins, and
should have no trouble in turning
back Warrenton again.
The "Basketeers" a team made up
of former high school greats, have
been licked by the Aycock team, fall
ing victims Monday night. They will
be out to turn the tide in their favor.
Aycock has team that will be hard
to whip in most semi-pro circles. The
boys have height and ability, and
should be hard to stop.
In preparation for tonights game,
Coach Bob Harrison will have his
full team of girls ready for action.
Miss Mary F. Houghtaling is the pace
setter.
Coach Harl Blose has done a little
shifting of his boys, moving Captain
Galloway from his regular guard
berth to forward. Galloway has done
most of the scoring this year. Paul
Blake will be running in Callaway's
vacated berth. J. w. Neal will be at
the other forward post. Rideout is
replaced by Galloway.
All three games should be well
worth watching, and a fair size crowd
is expected.

DHE Creator was surely in droll

showmanship that easily ranks him as

raphy there when Vincent Astor's gift
of two penguins came in. Most new
acquisitions at ZOO or aquarium are
travel-weary and frightened when
they arrive at their new home, but
not this pair They we're just as cocky
and independent as if they'd lived
there for years, and the moment they
were out of their crate they took full
charge of the place.
Naturally, we wanted to get some
pictures of them right away. so Sam
Dunton, the Aquarium photogra-
pher, and l put them on tool chest
and got busy But it was no dice. They
hoped off the chest Immediately, and
started lickety split down the hall. We
caught them and put them back on
the chest-and they ran off again.
This performance was repeated over
dozen times.
When we finally grasped the idea
that they wanted to inspect the prem
ises before anything else got under
way, we took them for walk all over
the building - and they didn't miss a
thing. They scurried through every
open door and raped with their beaks
on every closed door until it was
opened They investigated every
wastebasket, chased an occasional
cockroach, stopped in front of each
tank to glance at the fish swimming
past, then hurried on to new expert
ence: they had, of course. never seen
stairs before, but they refused to be
carried up or assisted, preferring to
hop up and down the steps them
selves. And when they'd seen every
thing there was to be seen, they were
content to be photographed.
After we'd finished, we put them
back in the big crate that was to be

so. Kneeling down to watch them,
idly ran my fingers along the chicken
wire side, whereupon one of the pair
cooked his head intently. | did it a
second time, and without any further
instruction the bird waddled over, put
his beak against the wire and ran the
whole length of the crate exactly like
a boy scraping stick along picket
fence. The trick pleased both of them
greatly, but it soon became more than
a pastime. Some time later Jim
Savage, their keeper, told me that
whenever they wanted to be taken
out of the crate, they'd rattle their
beaks along the wire until he responded
by taking them for stroll. Thus does
a penguin utilize what he learns.
In addition to being bright. these
droll birds are recklessly courageous.
One night after closing hour we had
them out back of the building; they
were perched on top of large ven
tilator hood when big black tomcat
from the nearby fireboat station sud-
denly jumped up beside them. Z-i-n-g'
The nearest penguin let fly with his
beak, catching the cat squarely on top
of the head - and the amazed tom
left us like streak of lightning.
During another evening stroll the
cocky pair set sail after bulldog
on a leash that CHANGED to be passing
by with his owner But the most
comical incident of all was the night
the two of them went after horse!
He was hitched to a cart delivering
cement at a side door of the building,
and to the two pengulns he was
nothing but a brash intruder. Wings
at right angles, beaks slightly open in
agitation, they shuffled toward the
animal with an amusing rolling gait
that made their seriousness all the
more ludicrous. But even if he we're
amused, the horse must have sensed
their anger. Casting puzzled eye
down at these strange creatures no
more than a foot tall. he discreetly
backed up.
Of course, as he retreated. they
quickened their successful advance
until they had driven him back good
twenty feet. Then Savage intervened
and carried his roughnecks home.
1t was Jim Savage himself, however,
who finally discovered one thing the
penguins have no stomach for: a

we're four other doors along that upper
hall, they would never enter the

For straight showmanship and play

better than the seals - and that's
going some. I've spent hours watch
ing them in the daytime and never
have | seen one put on an act for an
empty house or fail to entertain a
stable crowd. The favorite stunt of
Paddlewings III is to stand on the
very edge of his diving board in an
attitude stimulating drowsiness. Head

forward, then catch himself just in
the nick of time. to the pent-up

until the"O-o-oh's" are louder. A third
time he'll repeat it, just to put the

roar of delight from the watchers. he
will swing just too far and sprawl into
the water on his chin with all the
studied clumsiness of circus clown.
A few swift turns around the tank
and he climbs back on the landing to
get ready for the next performance,
which will be repeated as long as the
noon crowd is on hand - and not one
minute longer.
If you've seen them in this one act
alone, you might get the impression
that penguins are awkward But this
bird, who can't fly, can dive like a
bullet when he wants to. And using
his wings as oars and his webbed feet
as rudders. he can cut through the
water fast enough to catch the dartIng
fish on which he feeds Which is
plenty fast.
OF all the animals | have inter
viewed in my time, think fell
hardest for the penguIns. However,
laughable and lovable as they are,
they will tolerate no cuddllng or
pettlng. You can handle them when
necessary but no more than is neces-
sary, and If you start coolng over
them or stroking their Wiry feathers.
they'll pull away in unmistakable
disgust. If you persist, they'll nip you
with beak that can cut your finger
to the bone,
The outstanding thing you learn
about pengulns at first hand is that
they unquestlonably consider them
selves your superior. They can con-
vey this idea without rubbing it in,
and they will associate with humans
in a spirit of broad-minded tolerance.
So long as you know your place and
keep it. they will generously recipro-
cate by treating you as an equal. And
whosoever attains that status of
acceptance among the pengulns can
justifiably boast that he's finally got
somewhere in this world!

Ex-German Officer

BALTIMORE, Aug. 17.-Dr. Julius
Veith, twice-wounded former Ger
man Army officer and his nobly
born Bavarian wife-both exiles
from their homeland-had gone
today to seek happiness in eternity.
Broken-hearted and old, strangers
in a strange land, the couple joined
in a suicide pact here Tuesday
night. They will be cremated, at
their own wish, without ceremony
today.
There was fanfaronade and mill
tary ritual Is years ago when the
German nation decorated DR.. Veith
for gallantry in action. He was
chief medical officer of the Crown
Prince of Bavaria's own regiment.
He was a volunteer who entered
the army when war came, although
he was past the age limit.
He refused service back of the
lines and was twice gravely wounded,
and for his heroism won the Iron
Cross, first class, highest decoration
in the Germany that was.
In the peace that came he won
prominence in ophthalmology. He
was president of the Gottingen Med
ical Society, revered and respected
Herr Doktor Veith, happy in his
family and his wife of the noble
Won Valentini family of Bavaria.
But his parents were Jewish.
The NaZiS ruled that there were
too many Jewish professional men
in the Third Reich.
He lost his practice and fled to
exile in Italy.
His wife, Aryan Of the purest even
by Nazi standards. could have re-
manned with her noble family. She
joined him in exile.
The aging couple joined their son,
lawyer in Germany, now camera
counter clerk here, last February.
They were unhappy. One son
was still in Germany. Too old
Herr Doktor Veith was Tito make

son said his mother was always

aloud, why nation whose wounds
he bore on his body could strip him

natural impulse is to make compro-
misses. Recently he has been sound
ing out the neutralist governments,
like the Belgian. Neutralist means a
government which not only is re-
solved to remain neutral, but ac-
lively to promote neutrality among
others.
Such is the activity that can be
perceived behind the scenes. My
own impression is that it will come
to very little, and perhaps to nothing,
first, because France and Great
Britain are pledged to comply with
Poland's decision about what must
be done for the defense of Polish
national interests, and, second, be-
cause France and Great Britain are
practically bound toward Russia not
to enter into any important nego-
tiations with the dictators except
with Russia's approval and partici-
patton. If the military negotiations
in Moscow end in failure, all these
diplomatic schemes OF Hitler and
Mussolini might have a chance. But
the Western powers will do their up
most to make of them success.
